We look at the division of 55876429 by 493 
We're looking to find how many times 493 goes into 55876429.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 493, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 493

Step 2:
If we divide 55 by 493, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 558 / 493

Advancing to step 3:
493 goes into 558 1 times with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 493 from 558 leaves us with 65.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 657 / 493

Moving on to step 4:
493 can be fit into 657 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 164.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 493 from 657 leaves us with 164.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 164 and repeat the process: 1646 / 493

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 493 fits into 1646 3 times, leaving a remainder of 167.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtracting 1479 from 1646 leaves us with 167.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 167 and continue with: 1674 / 493

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 1674 by 493, we get 3 with a remainder of 195.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1133.0
If we take 1479 away from 1674, we end up with 195.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 195 and repeat the process: 1952 / 493

Moving on to step 7:
The number 493 fits into 1952 3 times, leaving a remainder of 473.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11333.0
Deduct 1479 from 1952 and we're left with 473.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 473, then repeat: 4739 / 493

Advancing to step 8:
The number 493 fits into 4739 9 times, leaving a remainder of 302.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 113339.0
The remainder is 302 after subtracting 4437 from 4739.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 3020 by 493, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 113339.6
Subtracting 2958 from 3020 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 10:
620 divided by 493 is 1 with a remainder of 127.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 113339.61
The remainder is 127 after subtracting 493 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
1270 divided by 493 is 2 with a remainder of 284.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 113339.612
If we take 986 away from 1270, we end up with 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 2840 by 493, we get 5 with a remainder of 375.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113339.6125
Subtract 2465 from 2840 to get 375.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 3750 by 493, we get 7 with a remainder of 299.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 113339.61257
If we subtract 3451 from 3750, we get 299.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2990, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
2990 divided by 493 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113339.612576
Subtracting 2958 from 2990 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
493 goes into 320 0 times with a remainder of 320.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113339.612576
Subtracting 0 from 320 leaves us with 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 3200 by 493, we get 6 and a remainder of 242.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113339.61257606
Subtracting 2958 from 3200 leaves us with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 113339.61257606, with a leftover of 2.42e-07.
