We divide 55481870 by 878
We want to divide 55481870 by 878.

Step 1:
5 divided by 878 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 878

On to step 2:
878 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 554 / 878

Let's proceed to step 3:
878 can be fit into 554 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 554.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 554, we get 554.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 554 and continue: 5548 / 878

Step 4:
5548 divided by 878 is 6 with a remainder of 280.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 5268 from 5548 to get 280.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 280, then repeat: 2801 / 878

Advancing to step 5:
878 goes into 2801 3 times with a remainder of 167.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtract 2634 from 2801 to get 167.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 167 and continue: 1678 / 878

Advancing to step 6:
878 goes into 1678 1 times with a remainder of 800.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 631.0
The remainder is 800 after subtracting 878 from 1678.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 800, then carry on: 8007 / 878

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 8007 by 878, we get 9 and a remainder of 105.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6319.0
Subtract 7902 from 8007 to get 105.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 105 and repeat the process: 1050 / 878

Step 8:
If we divide 1050 by 878, we get 1 and a remainder of 172.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 63191.0
The remainder is 172 after subtracting 878 from 1050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
878 goes into 1720 1 times with a remainder of 842.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63191.1
Subtract 878 from 1720 to get 842.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 8420 by 878, we get 9 and a remainder of 518.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 63191.19
The remainder is 518 after subtracting 7902 from 8420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
878 can be fit into 5180 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 790.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63191.195
If we subtract 4390 from 5180, we get 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
7900 divided by 878 is 8 with a remainder of 876.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 63191.1958
Deduct 7024 from 7900 and we're left with 876.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
8760 divided by 878 is 9 with a remainder of 858.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63191.19589
If we take 7902 away from 8760, we end up with 858.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
878 goes into 8580 9 times with a remainder of 678.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63191.195899
Subtracting 7902 from 8580 leaves us with 678.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6780, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 63191.195899, and the remainder is 6.78e-05.
