Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
26 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 261 / 55

Step 3:
261 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 41.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 220 from 261 to get 41.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 55

Step 4:
The number 55 fits into 411 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtracting 385 from 411 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
268 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 474.0
Subtracting 220 from 268 leaves us with 48.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 489 / 55

On to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 489 8 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4748.0
Subtracting 440 from 489 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
55 can be fit into 490 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4748.8
Subtract 440 from 490 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4748.89
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4748.89
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4748.8909
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4748.8909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4748.890909
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4748.890909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4748.89090909
If we take 495 away from 500, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4748.89090909, and the remainder is 5e-09.
