We're dividing 55185959 by 229 
We want to divide 55185959 by 229.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 229, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 229

Step 2:
229 goes into 55 0 times with 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.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 551 / 229

Advancing to step 3:
229 goes into 551 2 times with a remainder of 93.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 458 away from 551, we end up with 93.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 93 and continue: 938 / 229

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 938 by 229, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 916 from 938, we get 22.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 225 / 229

Moving on to step 5:
225 divided by 229 is 0 with a remainder of 225.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240.0
If we take 0 away from 225, we end up with 225.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 225 and continue: 2259 / 229

Going ahead to step 6:
2259 divided by 229 is 9 with a remainder of 198.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2409.0
Subtract 2061 from 2259 to get 198.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 198 and repeat the process: 1985 / 229

Advancing to step 7:
229 can be fit into 1985 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 153.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24098.0
Subtracting 1832 from 1985 leaves us with 153.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 153 and continue with: 1539 / 229

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1539 by 229, we get 6 and a remainder of 165.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240986.0
If we subtract 1374 from 1539, we get 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 229 fits into 1650 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 240986.7
Subtract 1603 from 1650 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 229 fits into 470 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240986.72
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 458 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
229 can be fit into 120 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 120.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240986.72
The remainder is 120 after subtracting 0 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 1200 by 229, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240986.7205
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 1145 from 1200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 550 by 229, we get 2 with a remainder of 92.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240986.72052
If we subtract 458 from 550, we get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 229 fits into 920 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240986.720524
Subtracting 916 from 920 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 229 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 240986.720524
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 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 16:
When dividing 400 by 229, we get 1 with a remainder of 171.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240986.72052401
Subtracting 229 from 400 leaves us with 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 240986.72052401 and a remainder of 1.71e-07.
