488396 divided by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 488396.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 55

Step 2:
The number 55 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 488 / 55

Step 3:
55 goes into 488 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 440 away from 488, we end up with 48.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 483 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
483 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 43.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtract 440 from 483 to get 43.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 439 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 887.0
Subtracting 385 from 439 leaves us with 54.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 546 / 55

Step 6:
The number 55 fits into 546 9 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8879.0
If we take 495 away from 546, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 510 9 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8879.9
If we take 495 away from 510, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8879.92
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8879.927
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8879.9272
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8879.92727
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8879.927272
If we subtract 110 from 150, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8879.9272727
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8879.92727272
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8879.92727272 with a balance of 4e-08.
