We look at the division of 142386 by 55 
We want to divide 142386 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 55

On to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 142 / 55

On to step 3:
55 can be fit into 142 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 110 from 142, we get 32.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 323 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
323 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 275 from 323 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 488 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
55 can be fit into 488 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 258.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 440 from 488.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 486 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 486 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2588.0
Deduct 440 from 486 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 55 fits into 460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2588.8
Subtract 440 from 460 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2588.83
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.

Moving on to step 9:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2588.836
Subtract 330 from 350 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2588.8363
Subtract 165 from 200 to 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 11:
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: 2588.83636
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2588.836363
Deduct 165 from 200 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2588.8363636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 2588.83636363
Subtract 165 from 200 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2588.83636363 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
