We're dividing 55645788 by 231 
We want to divide 55645788 by 231.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 231, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 231

Advancing to step 2:
55 divided by 231 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 556 / 231

Advancing to step 3:
The number 231 fits into 556 2 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 462 from 556 and we're left with 94.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 94, then repeat: 944 / 231

Moving on to step 4:
231 goes into 944 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 924 from 944, we get 20.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 205 / 231

Step 5:
If we divide 205 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 205.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240.0
If we subtract 0 from 205, we get 205.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 205 and continue with: 2057 / 231

Step 6:
When dividing 2057 by 231, we get 8 with a remainder of 209.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2408.0
If we take 1848 away from 2057, we end up with 209.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 209, then repeat: 2098 / 231

On to step 7:
231 can be fit into 2098 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24089.0
If we subtract 2079 from 2098, we get 19.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 198 / 231

Let's proceed to step 8:
231 goes into 198 0 times with a remainder of 198.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240890.0
The remainder is 198 after subtracting 0 from 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 231 fits into 1980 8 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 240890.8
The remainder is 132 after subtracting 1848 from 1980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 1320 by 231, we get 5 with a remainder of 165.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240890.85
Deduct 1155 from 1320 and we're left with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 1650 by 231, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240890.857
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 1617 from 1650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
231 can be fit into 330 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 99.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 240890.8571
Deduct 231 from 330 and we're left with 99.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 990, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
231 goes into 990 4 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240890.85714
If we take 924 away from 990, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
660 divided by 231 is 2 with a remainder of 198.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 240890.857142
Subtracting 462 from 660 leaves us with 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
1980 divided by 231 is 8 with a remainder of 132.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 240890.8571428
The remainder is 132 after subtracting 1848 from 1980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
231 can be fit into 1320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 165.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 240890.85714285
Subtracting 1155 from 1320 leaves us with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 240890.85714285 with a remaining 1.65e-07.
