Let's divide 279036 by 55
We want to divide 279036 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 55

Step 2:
55 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 55

On to step 3:
279 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 275 from 279 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 40 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 403 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
55 goes into 403 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 507.0
Deduct 385 from 403 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 186 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 186 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5073.0
Subtract 165 from 186 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 55 fits into 210 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5073.3
If we subtract 165 from 210, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 8:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5073.38
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5073.381
If we subtract 55 from 100, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5073.3818
If we subtract 440 from 450, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5073.38181
Subtract 55 from 100 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5073.381818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
55 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5073.3818181
Subtract 55 from 100 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5073.38181818
Subtract 440 from 450 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5073.38181818, and the remainder is 1e-08.
