971224 divided by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 971224 can be divided by 55.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 55, we get 0 and 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.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 55

On to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 97, we get 42.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 421 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 421 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 385 from 421, we get 36.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 362 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 362 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtract 330 from 362 to get 32.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 322 / 55

On to step 5:
If we divide 322 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1765.0
Subtract 275 from 322 to get 47.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 474 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 474 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17658.0
Subtract 440 from 474 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 340 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17658.6
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 330 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17658.61
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 9:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17658.618
If we subtract 440 from 450, we get 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 10:
100 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17658.6181
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.

On to step 11:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17658.61818
Subtract 440 from 450 to get 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 12:
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: 17658.618181
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.

Advancing to step 13:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17658.6181818
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 14:
55 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17658.61818181
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 17658.61818181, and the remainder is 4.5e-08.
