55995 ÷ 2 
We want to divide 55995 by 2.

Step 1:
The number 2 fits into 5 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
2 goes into 15 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 14 from 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 2

On to step 3:
2 can be fit into 19 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 279.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 2

Step 4:
2 goes into 19 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2799.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 15 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27997.0
Subtract 14 from 15 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27997.5
If we subtract 10 from 10, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27997.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27997.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 27997.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
