55985214 ÷ 973 
We want to divide 55985214 by 973.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 973, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 973

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 973 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 559 / 973

Moving on to step 3:
973 can be fit into 559 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 559.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 559 leaves us with 559.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 559 and continue: 5598 / 973

Step 4:
973 can be fit into 5598 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 733.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4865 from 5598, we get 733.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 733 and continue: 7335 / 973

Let's proceed to step 5:
7335 divided by 973 is 7 with a remainder of 524.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 6811 from 7335 to get 524.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 524 and continue with: 5242 / 973

On to step 6:
973 can be fit into 5242 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 377.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 575.0
Subtract 4865 from 5242 to get 377.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 377 and repeat the process: 3771 / 973

Advancing to step 7:
973 can be fit into 3771 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 852.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5753.0
The remainder is 852 after subtracting 2919 from 3771.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 852 and continue with: 8524 / 973

Step 8:
If we divide 8524 by 973, we get 8 and a remainder of 740.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57538.0
If we take 7784 away from 8524, we end up with 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 973 fits into 7400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 589.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57538.7
Deduct 6811 from 7400 and we're left with 589.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5890, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
973 can be fit into 5890 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57538.76
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 5838 from 5890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 520 by 973, we get 0 and a remainder of 520.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57538.76
Subtract 0 from 520 to get 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 5200 by 973, we get 5 and a remainder of 335.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57538.7605
The remainder is 335 after subtracting 4865 from 5200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 3350 by 973, we get 3 with a remainder of 431.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57538.76053
Subtract 2919 from 3350 to get 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4310, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 4310 by 973, we get 4 with a remainder of 418.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57538.760534
Subtract 3892 from 4310 to get 418.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

Step 15:
973 goes into 4180 4 times with a remainder of 288.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 57538.7605344
Deduct 3892 from 4180 and we're left with 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 57538.7605344, with a leftover of 2.88e-06.
