We divide 55490 by 8
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 55490.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 8

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 8, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 48 from 55, we get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 8

Moving on to step 3:
74 divided by 8 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we take 72 away from 74, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 8

Step 4:
When dividing 29 by 8, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 693.0
Subtract 24 from 29 to get 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 8

Moving on to step 5:
8 can be fit into 50 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6936.0
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
8 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6936.2
If we subtract 16 from 20, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 8 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6936.25
Deduct 40 from 40 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6936.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6936.25
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6936.25 with a remaining 0.0.
