We're dividing 55201751 by 311 
We want to divide 55201751 by 311.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 311, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 311

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 311 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 552 / 311

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 311 fits into 552 1 times, leaving a remainder of 241.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 311 away from 552, we end up with 241.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 241 and continue with: 2410 / 311

Step 4:
The number 311 fits into 2410 7 times, leaving a remainder of 233.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 2177 from 2410 leaves us with 233.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 233 and continue: 2331 / 311

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 311 fits into 2331 7 times, leaving a remainder of 154.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtracting 2177 from 2331 leaves us with 154.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 154, then repeat: 1547 / 311

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1547 by 311, we get 4 with a remainder of 303.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1774.0
Subtract 1244 from 1547 to get 303.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 303, then repeat: 3035 / 311

On to step 7:
The number 311 fits into 3035 9 times, leaving a remainder of 236.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17749.0
Deduct 2799 from 3035 and we're left with 236.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 236, then repeat: 2361 / 311

Let's proceed to step 8:
311 goes into 2361 7 times with a remainder of 184.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 177497.0
Deduct 2177 from 2361 and we're left with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
311 can be fit into 1840 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 285.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 177497.5
If we take 1555 away from 1840, we end up with 285.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2850, and continue the process.

Step 10:
311 can be fit into 2850 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177497.59
If we subtract 2799 from 2850, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 510 by 311, we get 1 with a remainder of 199.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177497.591
If we subtract 311 from 510, we get 199.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1990, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 311 fits into 1990 6 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 177497.5916
The remainder is 124 after subtracting 1866 from 1990.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1240 by 311, we get 3 with a remainder of 307.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177497.59163
Subtracting 933 from 1240 leaves us with 307.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3070, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
3070 divided by 311 is 9 with a remainder of 271.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 177497.591639
If we subtract 2799 from 3070, we get 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
311 goes into 2710 8 times with a remainder of 222.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177497.5916398
If we take 2488 away from 2710, we end up with 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

Step 16:
2220 divided by 311 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 177497.59163987
If we subtract 2177 from 2220, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Our division results in 177497.59163987 with a remaining 4.3e-08.
