Let's divide 296607 by 55
We want to divide 296607 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
55 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
55 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 296 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
296 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 275 from 296.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 216 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 216 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 51.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 165 away from 216, we end up with 51.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 510 / 55

On to step 5:
When dividing 510 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 539.0
Subtracting 495 from 510 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 157 2 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5392.0
Deduct 110 from 157 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:
When dividing 470 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 30.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5392.8
Subtract 440 from 470 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5392.85
If we subtract 275 from 300, we 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 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5392.854
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 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5392.8545
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.

Advancing to step 11:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5392.85454
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.

On to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5392.854545
If we subtract 275 from 300, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5392.8545454
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.

Moving on to step 14:
55 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5392.85454545
If we subtract 275 from 300, we 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.

The final outcome is 5392.85454545, with a leftover of 2.5e-08.
