Let's divide 977462 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 977462.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
55 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 55 from 97 leaves us with 42.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 55

On to step 3:
55 goes into 427 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 385 away from 427, we end up with 42.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 424 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 424 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtract 385 from 424 to get 39.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 396 / 55

On to step 5:
When dividing 396 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1777.0
Subtract 385 from 396 to get 11.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 112 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 112 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17772.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 110 from 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17772.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17772.03
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17772.036
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 10:
200 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17772.0363
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17772.03636
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.

Moving on to step 12:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17772.036363
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:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17772.0363636
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17772.03636363
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17772.03636363 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
