We divide 5587 by 99
Our goal is to divide 5587 by 99.

Step 1:
The number 99 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 99 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 558 / 99

Moving on to step 3:
99 goes into 558 5 times with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 495 away from 558, we end up with 63.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 637 / 99

On to step 4:
637 divided by 99 is 6 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 594 away from 637, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 5:
When dividing 430 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.4
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 396 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 6:
99 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 56.43
If we subtract 297 from 340, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 56.434
Subtracting 396 from 430 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
99 can be fit into 340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56.4343
Deduct 297 from 340 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 430 by 99, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.43434
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 396 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
99 can be fit into 340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 56.434343
If we take 297 away from 340, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 430 by 99, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.4343434
Subtract 396 from 430 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
99 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.43434343
If we subtract 297 from 340, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

The final result is 56.43434343 with a remainder of 4.3e-08.
