We're dividing 865897 by 55 
We want to divide 865897 by 55.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
55 can be fit into 86 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 55 from 86 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 315 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 315 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 275 from 315, we get 40.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 55

Step 4:
The number 55 fits into 408 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 157.0
Subtracting 385 from 408 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 239 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1574.0
Subtracting 220 from 239 leaves us with 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
197 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15743.0
Subtracting 165 from 197 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
55 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15743.5
Subtracting 275 from 320 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15743.58
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 9:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15743.581
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.

Step 10:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15743.5818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15743.58181
If we subtract 55 from 100, we 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15743.581818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15743.5818181
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15743.58181818
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.

The quotient of the division is 15743.58181818, and the remainder is 1e-08.
