We look at the division of 488398 by 55 
Our goal is to divide 488398 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 55

On to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 55

Step 3:
When dividing 488 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 440 from 488.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 483 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
55 can be fit into 483 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtracting 440 from 483 leaves us with 43.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 439 / 55

Step 5:
55 can be fit into 439 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 887.0
Deduct 385 from 439 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 548 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
548 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 53.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8879.0
If we take 495 away from 548, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 530 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8879.9
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 495 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 8:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8879.96
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8879.963
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up 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.

Step 10:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8879.9636
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 11:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8879.96363
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up 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.

Step 12:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8879.963636
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.

Step 13:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8879.9636363
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.

Step 14:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8879.96363636
Subtract 330 from 350 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8879.96363636 with a balance of 2e-08.
