221642 divided by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 221642.

On to step 1:
55 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
55 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 221 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
55 can be fit into 221 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 220 from 221.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 16 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
55 goes into 164 2 times with a remainder of 54.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 402.0
Subtracting 110 from 164 leaves us with 54.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 542 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 542 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4029.0
Subtracting 495 from 542 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
470 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4029.8
Deduct 440 from 470 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
300 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4029.85
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4029.854
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4029.8545
If we subtract 275 from 300, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4029.85454
If we take 220 away from 250, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4029.854545
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 275 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4029.8545454
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
300 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4029.85454545
If we take 275 away from 300, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4029.85454545, with a leftover of 2.5e-08.
