We divide 267781 by 55
Our goal is to divide 267781 by 55.

On to step 1:
55 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 267 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
55 goes into 267 4 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 220 from 267 leaves us with 47.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 477 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
477 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 440 from 477 and we're left with 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 55

Step 5:
If we divide 378 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 486.0
Subtracting 330 from 378 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 481 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 481 8 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4868.0
If we take 440 away from 481, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 410 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4868.7
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 385 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4868.74
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
300 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4868.745
Subtracting 275 from 300 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4868.7454
If we take 220 away from 250, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
55 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4868.74545
Subtract 275 from 300 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4868.745454
Subtracting 220 from 250 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 300 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4868.7454545
Subtracting 275 from 300 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 14:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4868.74545454
If we subtract 220 from 250, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4868.74545454 with a remaining 3e-08.
