178470 divided by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 178470 can be divided by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 55

On to step 2:
55 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 178 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 165 from 178, we get 13.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 134 / 55

On to step 4:
55 goes into 134 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 110 from 134 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 247 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 324.0
Subtracting 220 from 247 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 270 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
55 goes into 270 4 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3244.0
If we take 220 away from 270, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3244.9
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3244.9
Subtract 0 from 50 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3244.909
If we subtract 495 from 500, we 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.

Step 10:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3244.909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3244.90909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
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 12:
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: 3244.90909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3244.9090909
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3244.9090909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3244.9090909 with a remaining 5e-08.
