281561 ÷ 55 
Our goal is to divide 281561 by 55.

Step 1:
The number 55 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
55 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 281 / 55

On to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 281 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 275 from 281, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 55

Step 4:
55 goes into 65 1 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 55 from 65, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 106 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
55 can be fit into 106 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 511.0
Subtracting 55 from 106 leaves us with 51.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 511 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 511 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5119.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 495 from 511.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
55 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5119.2
If we take 110 away from 160, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5119.29
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5119.29
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5119.2909
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5119.2909
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5119.290909
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 13:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5119.290909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 14:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5119.29090909
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5119.29090909 and a remainder of 5e-09.
