Let's divide 708417 by 55
Our goal is to divide 708417 by 55.

Step 1:
7 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 70 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 70 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 55

On to step 3:
55 can be fit into 158 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 110 from 158.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 484 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 484 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtract 440 from 484 to get 44.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 441 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
441 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1288.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 440 from 441.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
55 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12880.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12880.3
Subtracting 165 from 170 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12880.3
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12880.309
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12880.309
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12880.30909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12880.30909
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12880.3090909
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12880.3090909
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12880.3090909, and the remainder is 5e-08.
