981378 ÷ 55 
We want to divide 981378 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 55 from 98, we get 43.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 431 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 431 7 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 385 away from 431, we end up with 46.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 463 / 55

On to step 4:
55 goes into 463 8 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we subtract 440 from 463, we get 23.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 237 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
237 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1784.0
If we subtract 220 from 237, we get 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 178 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17843.0
If we take 165 away from 178, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17843.2
If we take 110 away from 130, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17843.23
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.

Moving on to step 9:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17843.236
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17843.2363
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17843.23636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17843.236363
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us 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:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17843.2363636
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.

On to step 14:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17843.23636363
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.

The final result is 17843.23636363 with a remainder of 3.5e-08.
