We're dividing 187403 by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 187403 can be divided by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
55 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
55 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 187 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 165 from 187.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 224 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 220 from 224 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 40 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 340.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 403 / 55

On to step 6:
403 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3407.0
Deduct 385 from 403 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 7:
55 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3407.3
Deduct 165 from 180 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3407.32
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3407.327
Deduct 385 from 400 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3407.3272
If we take 110 away from 150, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3407.32727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3407.327272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3407.3272727
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3407.32727272
Subtracting 110 from 150 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3407.32727272 with a balance of 4e-08.
