We're dividing 55242 by 4 
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 55242.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 4 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 4

Step 2:
15 divided by 4 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 12 from 15 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 4

Step 3:
If we divide 32 by 4, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 32 from 32.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 4

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 4 by 4, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1381.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 4

Going ahead to step 5:
4 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13810.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
20 divided by 4 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13810.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 20 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13810.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13810.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

The quotient of the division is 13810.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
