Let's divide 985719 by 55
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 985719.

Going ahead to step 1:
55 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 55 away from 98, we end up with 43.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 435 / 55

Step 3:
When dividing 435 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 50.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 385 from 435 and we're left with 50.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 507 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 507 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179.0
Deduct 495 from 507 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 121 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1792.0
If we take 110 away from 121, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 119 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17922.0
Subtract 110 from 119 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
55 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17922.1
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17922.16
Subtract 330 from 350 to 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 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: 17922.163
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 10:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17922.1636
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17922.16363
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.

Step 12:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17922.163636
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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 17922.1636363
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17922.16363636
Subtract 330 from 350 to 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.

The final result is 17922.16363636 with a remainder of 2e-08.
