Let's divide 118298 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 118298.

Step 1:
55 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 55

On to step 2:
55 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 55

On to step 3:
If we divide 118 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 110 from 118, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
82 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 55 from 82, we get 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 279 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 215.0
If we take 275 away from 279, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2150.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
55 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2150.8
Subtracting 440 from 480 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2150.87
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
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 9:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2150.872
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
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 10:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2150.8727
Deduct 385 from 400 and we're left 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 11:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2150.87272
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.

Advancing to step 12:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2150.872727
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2150.8727272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2150.87272727
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2150.87272727 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
