Let's divide 538040 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 538040.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
55 goes into 53 0 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 538 / 55

On to step 3:
538 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 495 from 538 and we're left with 43.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 430 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 430 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 97.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 385 from 430.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 454 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 454 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 978.0
Subtracting 440 from 454 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 140 / 55

Step 6:
55 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9782.0
Subtract 110 from 140 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
300 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9782.5
If we subtract 275 from 300, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9782.54
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 220 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9782.545
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9782.5454
If we subtract 220 from 250, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9782.54545
Subtract 275 from 300 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9782.545454
If we subtract 220 from 250, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9782.5454545
If we subtract 275 from 300, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9782.54545454
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9782.54545454, and the remainder is 3e-08.
