We divide 977499 by 55
Our goal is to divide 977499 by 55.

Step 1:
The number 55 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 97 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
55 goes into 427 7 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 385 from 427 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 424 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 424 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 177.0
Deduct 385 from 424 and we're left with 39.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 399 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 399 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1777.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 385 from 399.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 149 2 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17772.0
Deduct 110 from 149 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
55 goes into 390 7 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17772.7
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 385 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17772.7
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17772.709
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17772.709
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17772.70909
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17772.70909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17772.7090909
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17772.7090909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17772.7090909, with a leftover of 5e-08.
