Let's divide 724523 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 724523 can be divided by 55.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 55

Step 2:
72 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 55 away from 72, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 174 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 174 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 165 from 174 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 95 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 95 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 131.0
If we take 55 away from 95, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 55

On to step 5:
55 goes into 402 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1317.0
If we take 385 away from 402, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 173 / 55

Step 6:
If we divide 173 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13173.0
Deduct 165 from 173 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
55 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13173.1
If we subtract 55 from 80, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13173.14
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 9:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13173.145
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13173.1454
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13173.14545
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 12:
The number 55 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13173.145454
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13173.1454545
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13173.14545454
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.

The final outcome is 13173.14545454, with a leftover of 3e-08.
