We divide 308634 by 55
Our goal is to divide 308634 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 55

On to step 2:
30 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 308 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
55 goes into 308 5 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 275 from 308 to get 33.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 336 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 336 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 330 from 336 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 55

On to step 5:
55 can be fit into 63 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 561.0
Deduct 55 from 63 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 55

On to step 6:
When dividing 84 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5611.0
If we subtract 55 from 84, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 290 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5611.5
Deduct 275 from 290 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5611.52
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5611.527
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5611.5272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5611.52727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5611.527272
If we subtract 110 from 150, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5611.5272727
Deduct 385 from 400 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5611.52727272
If we subtract 110 from 150, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5611.52727272 with a balance of 4e-08.
