Let's divide 113879 by 55
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 113879.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
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

Let's proceed to step 2:
55 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 113 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
55 can be fit into 113 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 110 from 113.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 55

Step 4:
The number 55 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 387 / 55

Step 5:
The number 55 fits into 387 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 207.0
Subtract 385 from 387 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 55

Step 6:
If we divide 29 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2070.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
290 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2070.5
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 275 from 290.
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 8:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2070.52
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2070.527
Subtract 385 from 400 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 2070.5272
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 11:
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: 2070.52727
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:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2070.527272
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 13:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2070.5272727
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 14:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2070.52727272
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2070.52727272 with a balance of 4e-08.
