We're dividing 989734 by 55 
We want to divide 989734 by 55.

On to step 1:
55 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 55

Step 2:
The number 55 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 98, we get 43.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 439 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
439 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 385 from 439 and we're left with 54.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 547 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 547 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 52.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 179.0
Subtracting 495 from 547 leaves us with 52.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 523 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
523 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1799.0
If we take 495 away from 523, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 284 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
55 can be fit into 284 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17995.0
If we take 275 away from 284, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17995.1
Deduct 55 from 90 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17995.16
If we subtract 330 from 350, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17995.163
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17995.1636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17995.16363
If we subtract 165 from 200, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17995.163636
If we subtract 330 from 350, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17995.1636363
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17995.16363636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17995.16363636, with a leftover of 2e-08.
