Let's divide 55978491 by 876
We want to figure out the number of times 55978491 can be divided by 876.

On to step 1:
The number 876 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 876

Moving on to step 2:
876 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 55 leaves us with 55.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 559 / 876

Step 3:
876 can be fit into 559 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 559.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 559 leaves us with 559.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 559, then repeat: 5597 / 876

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 876 fits into 5597 6 times, leaving a remainder of 341.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 5256 from 5597, we get 341.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 341, then carry on: 3418 / 876

Step 5:
If we divide 3418 by 876, we get 3 and a remainder of 790.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 790 after subtracting 2628 from 3418.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 790 and continue: 7904 / 876

Advancing to step 6:
The number 876 fits into 7904 9 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 639.0
If we take 7884 away from 7904, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 209 / 876

Step 7:
The number 876 fits into 209 0 times, leaving a remainder of 209.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6390.0
Subtract 0 from 209 to get 209.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 209, then repeat: 2091 / 876

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 2091 by 876, we get 2 with a remainder of 339.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63902.0
Subtracting 1752 from 2091 leaves us with 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 876 fits into 3390 3 times, leaving a remainder of 762.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63902.3
Deduct 2628 from 3390 and we're left with 762.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 876 fits into 7620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 612.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63902.38
Deduct 7008 from 7620 and we're left with 612.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 6120 by 876, we get 6 with a remainder of 864.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63902.386
If we take 5256 away from 6120, we end up with 864.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
8640 divided by 876 is 9 with a remainder of 756.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63902.3869
Subtract 7884 from 8640 to get 756.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
876 goes into 7560 8 times with a remainder of 552.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63902.38698
If we take 7008 away from 7560, we end up with 552.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5520, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
5520 divided by 876 is 6 with a remainder of 264.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 63902.386986
Deduct 5256 from 5520 and we're left with 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
2640 divided by 876 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63902.3869863
Deduct 2628 from 2640 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 120 by 876, we get 0 with a remainder of 120.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 63902.3869863
Subtracting 0 from 120 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

The final result is 63902.3869863 with a remainder of 1.2e-07.
