Let's divide 55278944 by 131
We're looking to find how many times 131 goes into 55278944.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 131 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 131

Step 2:
The number 131 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 552 / 131

On to step 3:
If we divide 552 by 131, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 524 from 552.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 131

Step 4:
The number 131 fits into 287 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 262 from 287 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 258 / 131

Moving on to step 5:
The number 131 fits into 258 1 times, leaving a remainder of 127.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 421.0
Deduct 131 from 258 and we're left with 127.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 127 and continue with: 1279 / 131

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 131 fits into 1279 9 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4219.0
Deduct 1179 from 1279 and we're left with 100.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 100, then repeat: 1004 / 131

Step 7:
When dividing 1004 by 131, we get 7 with a remainder of 87.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42197.0
If we subtract 917 from 1004, we get 87.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 874 / 131

Advancing to step 8:
874 divided by 131 is 6 with a remainder of 88.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 421976.0
Subtracting 786 from 874 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 880 by 131, we get 6 with a remainder of 94.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 421976.6
Subtract 786 from 880 to get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
131 goes into 940 7 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 421976.67
Subtracting 917 from 940 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 11:
131 can be fit into 230 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 99.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 421976.671
If we take 131 away from 230, we end up with 99.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 990, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 990 by 131, we get 7 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 421976.6717
Deduct 917 from 990 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 13:
730 divided by 131 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 421976.67175
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 655 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
131 goes into 750 5 times with a remainder of 95.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 421976.671755
Deduct 655 from 750 and we're left with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

The final result is 421976.671755 with a remainder of 9.5e-06.
