We're dividing 55462 by 35 
We want to figure out the number of times 55462 can be divided by 35.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 35, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 35

Moving on to step 2:
The number 35 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 35 from 55, we get 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 35

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 204 by 35, we get 5 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 175 from 204, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 35

Going ahead to step 4:
296 divided by 35 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 158.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 280 from 296.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 162 / 35

Advancing to step 5:
35 can be fit into 162 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1584.0
Subtract 140 from 162 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
35 goes into 220 6 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1584.6
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 35 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1584.62
If we subtract 70 from 100, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
300 divided by 35 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1584.628
Subtracting 280 from 300 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.

Advancing to step 9:
35 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1584.6285
Deduct 175 from 200 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 250 by 35, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1584.62857
If we subtract 245 from 250, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 35, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1584.628571
If we take 35 away from 50, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
35 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1584.6285714
Deduct 140 from 150 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 35, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1584.62857142
If we take 70 away from 100, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1584.62857142, and the remainder is 3e-08.
