48279 ÷ 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 48279 can be divided by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 55

On to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 482 / 55

Step 3:
When dividing 482 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 440 from 482 to get 42.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 427 / 55

Step 4:
If we divide 427 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 87.0
If we take 385 away from 427, we end up with 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 429 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 877.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 385 from 429.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 440 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 877.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 440 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
55 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 877.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 877.8
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.

After the division, we end up with 877.8 and a remainder of 0.0.
