We're dividing 787309 by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 787309 can be divided by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
55 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 55 away from 78, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 237 / 55

Step 3:
237 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 220 from 237 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
173 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 143.0
Deduct 165 from 173 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 80 / 55

On to step 5:
If we divide 80 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1431.0
If we take 55 away from 80, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 259 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14314.0
Subtract 220 from 259 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14314.7
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 385 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14314.7
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14314.709
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14314.709
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14314.70909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14314.70909
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14314.7090909
If we take 495 away from 500, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 50 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14314.7090909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 14314.7090909 and a remainder of 5e-08.
