We divide 279934 by 55
We want to divide 279934 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
55 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
55 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 55

Step 3:
279 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 275 from 279 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 55

On to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 493 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
493 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 508.0
Subtracting 440 from 493 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 534 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
55 goes into 534 9 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5089.0
Subtracting 495 from 534 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
55 can be fit into 390 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5089.7
If we take 385 away from 390, we end up 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 8:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5089.7
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 9:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5089.709
If we take 495 away from 500, we end up 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 10:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5089.709
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:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5089.70909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5089.70909
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
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: 5089.7090909
If we subtract 495 from 500, we 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.

On to step 14:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5089.7090909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 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 quotient of the division is 5089.7090909, and the remainder is 5e-08.
