We look at the division of 55818131 by 462 
We're looking to find how many times 462 goes into 55818131.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 462, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 462

Step 2:
462 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 558 / 462

On to step 3:
462 can be fit into 558 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 462 from 558 to get 96.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 96, then repeat: 961 / 462

On to step 4:
462 can be fit into 961 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 924 away from 961, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 378 / 462

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 378 by 462, we get 0 with a remainder of 378.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 378 after subtracting 0 from 378.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 378, then repeat: 3781 / 462

Let's proceed to step 6:
462 can be fit into 3781 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1208.0
Subtract 3696 from 3781 to get 85.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 85, then repeat: 853 / 462

Going ahead to step 7:
853 divided by 462 is 1 with a remainder of 391.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12081.0
If we subtract 462 from 853, we get 391.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 391 and continue with: 3911 / 462

Advancing to step 8:
462 goes into 3911 8 times with a remainder of 215.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120818.0
Deduct 3696 from 3911 and we're left with 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 2150 by 462, we get 4 and a remainder of 302.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 120818.4
If we subtract 1848 from 2150, we get 302.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 3020 by 462, we get 6 and a remainder of 248.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120818.46
If we take 2772 away from 3020, we end up with 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 462 fits into 2480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 170.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120818.465
If we take 2310 away from 2480, we end up with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 1700 by 462, we get 3 with a remainder of 314.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120818.4653
Subtracting 1386 from 1700 leaves us with 314.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
462 goes into 3140 6 times with a remainder of 368.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120818.46536
If we subtract 2772 from 3140, we get 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
3680 divided by 462 is 7 with a remainder of 446.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120818.465367
If we subtract 3234 from 3680, we get 446.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 4460 by 462, we get 9 and a remainder of 302.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120818.4653679
Subtracting 4158 from 4460 leaves us with 302.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 462 fits into 3020 6 times, leaving a remainder of 248.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120818.46536796
If we subtract 2772 from 3020, we get 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

The final result is 120818.46536796 with a remainder of 2.48e-07.
