We divide 142078 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 142078 can be divided by 55.

On to step 1:
55 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
55 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 142 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 110 from 142 and we're left with 32.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 320 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 275 from 320 leaves us with 45.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 457 / 55

On to step 5:
55 can be fit into 457 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 258.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 440 from 457.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 55

Step 6:
The number 55 fits into 178 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2583.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 165 from 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 130 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2583.2
If we take 110 away from 130, 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2583.23
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed 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: 2583.236
If we subtract 330 from 350, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2583.2363
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up 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 11:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2583.23636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2583.236363
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 13:
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: 2583.2363636
If we subtract 330 from 350, we 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.

On to step 14:
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: 2583.23636363
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2583.23636363 with a remaining 3.5e-08.
