We're dividing 55855672 by 462 
We want to figure out the number of times 55855672 can be divided by 462.

Let's proceed to step 1:
462 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 462

On to step 2:
The number 462 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 55 leaves us with 55.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 558 / 462

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 558 by 462, we get 1 with a remainder of 96.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 462 from 558.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 96, then repeat: 965 / 462

Let's proceed to step 4:
462 can be fit into 965 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 924 from 965, we get 41.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 415 / 462

Step 5:
462 goes into 415 0 times with a remainder of 415.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 415 after subtracting 0 from 415.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 415 and repeat the process: 4156 / 462

Moving on to step 6:
462 goes into 4156 8 times with a remainder of 460.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1208.0
If we take 3696 away from 4156, we end up with 460.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 460 and repeat the process: 4607 / 462

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 462 fits into 4607 9 times, leaving a remainder of 449.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12089.0
If we take 4158 away from 4607, we end up with 449.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 449, then carry on: 4492 / 462

Step 8:
4492 divided by 462 is 9 with a remainder of 334.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120899.0
The remainder is 334 after subtracting 4158 from 4492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3340, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 3340 by 462, we get 7 and a remainder of 106.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120899.7
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 3234 from 3340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
1060 divided by 462 is 2 with a remainder of 136.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120899.72
Subtracting 924 from 1060 leaves us with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 1360 by 462, we get 2 and a remainder of 436.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120899.722
If we take 924 away from 1360, we end up with 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 120899.722 with a remaining 0.0436.
