Let's divide 279629 by 55
Our goal is to divide 279629 by 55.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 55

Advancing to 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.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 55

Moving 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
If we take 275 away from 279, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
55 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 462 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
462 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 508.0
Subtract 440 from 462 to get 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 55

Step 6:
If we divide 229 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5084.0
Subtract 220 from 229 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5084.1
Deduct 55 from 90 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5084.16
If we subtract 330 from 350, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5084.163
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5084.1636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5084.16363
Subtract 165 from 200 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5084.163636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5084.1636363
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5084.16363636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5084.16363636 with a remaining 2e-08.
