We look at the division of 55542438 by 557 
We want to divide 55542438 by 557.

Step 1:
557 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 557

Moving on to step 2:
557 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 555 / 557

On to step 3:
555 divided by 557 is 0 with a remainder of 555.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 555, we get 555.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 555 and continue with: 5554 / 557

Let's proceed to step 4:
5554 divided by 557 is 9 with a remainder of 541.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 5013 from 5554 leaves us with 541.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 541 and continue with: 5412 / 557

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 5412 by 557, we get 9 and a remainder of 399.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99.0
Deduct 5013 from 5412 and we're left with 399.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 399 and repeat the process: 3994 / 557

Step 6:
When dividing 3994 by 557, we get 7 with a remainder of 95.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 997.0
Subtracting 3899 from 3994 leaves us with 95.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 95, then carry on: 953 / 557

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 953 by 557, we get 1 with a remainder of 396.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9971.0
Subtract 557 from 953 to get 396.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 396 and continue with: 3968 / 557

Advancing to step 8:
557 can be fit into 3968 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99717.0
Subtract 3899 from 3968 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 690 by 557, we get 1 with a remainder of 133.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 99717.1
Subtracting 557 from 690 leaves us with 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
557 goes into 1330 2 times with a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99717.12
If we subtract 1114 from 1330, we get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
557 can be fit into 2160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 489.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99717.123
If we subtract 1671 from 2160, we get 489.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
557 can be fit into 4890 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 434.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99717.1238
If we take 4456 away from 4890, we end up with 434.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4340, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 4340 by 557, we get 7 and a remainder of 441.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99717.12387
The remainder is 441 after subtracting 3899 from 4340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 4410 by 557, we get 7 with a remainder of 511.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99717.123877
The remainder is 511 after subtracting 3899 from 4410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5110, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 99717.123877 and a remainder of 5.11e-05.
