55939 divided by 2 
Our goal is to divide 55939 by 2.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
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

Advancing to step 3:
2 can be fit into 19 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 279.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 2

On to step 4:
2 can be fit into 13 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2796.0
If we subtract 12 from 13, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
2 can be fit into 19 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27969.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27969.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
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 7:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27969.5
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27969.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 27969.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
