We look at the division of 518642 by 55 
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 518642.

Step 1:
The number 55 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 55

On to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 518 / 55

On to step 3:
55 can be fit into 518 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 495 from 518 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 236 / 55

Step 4:
The number 55 fits into 236 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 94.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 220 from 236.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 164 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 164 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 54.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 942.0
Subtracting 110 from 164 leaves us with 54.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 542 / 55

Step 6:
If we divide 542 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9429.0
Deduct 495 from 542 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
470 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 30.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9429.8
If we subtract 440 from 470, we get 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 8:
55 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9429.85
Subtract 275 from 300 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9429.854
If we subtract 220 from 250, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9429.8545
Subtract 275 from 300 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9429.85454
Subtract 220 from 250 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9429.854545
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 275 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9429.8545454
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 14:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9429.85454545
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.

The quotient of the division is 9429.85454545, and the remainder is 2.5e-08.
