We divide 872874 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 872874 can be divided by 55.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 55

Step 2:
55 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 55 from 87 to get 32.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 322 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 322 5 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 275 away from 322, we end up with 47.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 55

On to step 4:
55 goes into 478 8 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 158.0
If we subtract 440 from 478, we get 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 387 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
55 goes into 387 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1587.0
Deduct 385 from 387 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
24 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15870.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
240 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15870.4
Subtract 220 from 240 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15870.43
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15870.436
If we take 330 away from 350, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15870.4363
Deduct 165 from 200 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15870.43636
Subtract 330 from 350 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15870.436363
Deduct 165 from 200 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15870.4363636
If we take 330 away from 350, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15870.43636363
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final result is 15870.43636363 with a remainder of 3.5e-08.
