Let's divide 107187 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 107187 can be divided by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
55 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
55 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 107 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 55 from 107 leaves us with 52.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 521 / 55

On to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 521 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 495 away from 521, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 268 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 194.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 220 from 268.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
55 can be fit into 487 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1948.0
Subtract 440 from 487 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
55 goes into 470 8 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1948.8
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 440 from 470.
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.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1948.85
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.

Step 9:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1948.854
If we take 220 away from 250, we end up 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 300 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1948.8545
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 250 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1948.85454
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 12:
If we divide 300 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1948.854545
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.

On to step 13:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1948.8545454
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1948.85454545
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1948.85454545 with a balance of 2.5e-08.
