We divide 172379 by 55
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 172379.

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
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
55 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 172 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 can be fit into 172 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 165 from 172 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 73 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 55 from 73, we get 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 55

Step 5:
187 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 313.0
If we subtract 165 from 187, we get 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 55

On to step 6:
55 can be fit into 229 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3134.0
If we take 220 away from 229, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
55 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3134.1
Subtract 55 from 90 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3134.16
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left 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 9:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3134.163
If we subtract 165 from 200, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3134.1636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3134.16363
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.

Step 12:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3134.163636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3134.1636363
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 14:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3134.16363636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3134.16363636 with a balance of 2e-08.
