278653 ÷ 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 278653 can be divided by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 55

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 55

Step 3:
The number 55 fits into 278 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 275 away from 278, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 36 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 goes into 36 0 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 0 from 36.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 365 / 55

Step 5:
The number 55 fits into 365 6 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 506.0
Subtracting 330 from 365 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 353 / 55

Step 6:
If we divide 353 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5066.0
If we subtract 330 from 353, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
55 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5066.4
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 220 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5066.41
Subtracting 55 from 100 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5066.418
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5066.4181
If we take 55 away from 100, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 11:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5066.41818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
100 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5066.418181
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 13:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5066.4181818
If we subtract 440 from 450, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5066.41818181
Subtract 55 from 100 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5066.41818181 with a balance of 4.5e-08.
