Let's divide 242652 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 242652 can be divided by 55.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 55

On to step 2:
55 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 220 away from 242, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 226 / 55

On to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 226 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 220 from 226 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 55

On to step 5:
When dividing 65 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 441.0
Subtract 55 from 65 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 102 / 55

Step 6:
When dividing 102 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4411.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 55 from 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 470 8 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4411.8
If we take 440 away from 470, 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.

Step 8:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4411.85
Subtract 275 from 300 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4411.854
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4411.8545
If we take 275 away from 300, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4411.85454
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4411.854545
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 275 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 13:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4411.8545454
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 14:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4411.85454545
Subtract 275 from 300 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The final result is 4411.85454545 with a remainder of 2.5e-08.
