We divide 261719 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 261719 can be divided by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
55 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
55 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 55

Step 3:
If we divide 261 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 220 from 261.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 417 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 417 7 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 385 from 417.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 321 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 321 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 46.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 475.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 275 from 321.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 469 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
469 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4758.0
Deduct 440 from 469 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
55 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4758.5
Subtracting 275 from 290 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4758.52
Subtracting 110 from 150 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4758.527
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4758.5272
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4758.52727
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4758.527272
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4758.5272727
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4758.52727272
Deduct 110 from 150 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4758.52727272 with a remaining 4e-08.
