We divide 296712 by 55
We want to divide 296712 by 55.

Step 1:
55 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 55

Step 2:
If we divide 29 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 296 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
55 goes into 296 5 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 275 from 296 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 55

Step 4:
The number 55 fits into 217 3 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 165 from 217, we get 52.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 521 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
55 goes into 521 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 539.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 495 from 521.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 262 / 55

Step 6:
55 goes into 262 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5394.0
If we take 220 away from 262, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 420 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5394.7
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 385 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 5394.76
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
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 9:
200 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5394.763
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5394.7636
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.

On to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5394.76363
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.

On to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5394.763636
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 13:
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: 5394.7636363
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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5394.76363636
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.

Our division results in 5394.76363636 with a remaining 2e-08.
