Let's divide 972089 by 55
Our goal is to divide 972089 by 55.

Step 1:
9 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 55 from 97 to get 42.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 422 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
55 goes into 422 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 385 from 422 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 370 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 370 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 330 from 370.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 408 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 408 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1767.0
If we subtract 385 from 408, we get 23.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 239 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 239 4 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17674.0
Deduct 220 from 239 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17674.3
If we take 165 away from 190, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17674.34
Subtract 220 from 250 to get 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 9:
55 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17674.345
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.

Step 10:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17674.3454
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 11:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17674.34545
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17674.345454
Subtracting 220 from 250 leaves us 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 13:
When dividing 300 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17674.3454545
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17674.34545454
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.

After the division, we end up with 17674.34545454 and a remainder of 3e-08.
