We look at the division of 55517749 by 204 
We want to figure out the number of times 55517749 can be divided by 204.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 204, we get 0 with 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 / 204

Step 2:
55 divided by 204 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 555 / 204

On to step 3:
204 can be fit into 555 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 147.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 408 from 555 to get 147.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 147, then carry on: 1471 / 204

Going ahead to step 4:
204 can be fit into 1471 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 1428 from 1471 and we're left with 43.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 437 / 204

Going ahead to step 5:
437 divided by 204 is 2 with a remainder of 29.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 408 from 437.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 297 / 204

Advancing to step 6:
The number 204 fits into 297 1 times, leaving a remainder of 93.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2721.0
If we subtract 204 from 297, we get 93.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 93 and continue with: 934 / 204

Step 7:
If we divide 934 by 204, we get 4 and a remainder of 118.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27214.0
Deduct 816 from 934 and we're left with 118.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 118, then carry on: 1189 / 204

Let's proceed to step 8:
1189 divided by 204 is 5 with a remainder of 169.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 272145.0
The remainder is 169 after subtracting 1020 from 1189.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1690, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 1690 by 204, we get 8 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272145.8
Subtract 1632 from 1690 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 204 fits into 580 2 times, leaving a remainder of 172.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272145.82
The remainder is 172 after subtracting 408 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1720 by 204, we get 8 and a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 272145.828
Subtract 1632 from 1720 to get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
204 can be fit into 880 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 272145.8284
If we subtract 816 from 880, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 204 fits into 640 3 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272145.82843
If we take 612 away from 640, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 204, we get 1 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 272145.828431
If we subtract 204 from 280, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 204 fits into 760 3 times, leaving a remainder of 148.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272145.8284313
The remainder is 148 after subtracting 612 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
204 can be fit into 1480 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 272145.82843137
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 1428 from 1480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 272145.82843137 and a remainder of 5.2e-08.
