We look at the division of 55384412 by 988 
We want to figure out the number of times 55384412 can be divided by 988.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 988, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 988

Step 2:
988 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 55 leaves us with 55.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 553 / 988

Step 3:
553 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 553.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 553 and we're left with 553.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 553, then repeat: 5538 / 988

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 5538 by 988, we get 5 with a remainder of 598.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4940 from 5538, we get 598.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 598, then repeat: 5984 / 988

On to step 5:
5984 divided by 988 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 5928 from 5984, we get 56.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 564 / 988

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 564 by 988, we get 0 with a remainder of 564.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 560.0
The remainder is 564 after subtracting 0 from 564.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 564 and repeat the process: 5641 / 988

Advancing to step 7:
988 goes into 5641 5 times with a remainder of 701.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5605.0
The remainder is 701 after subtracting 4940 from 5641.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 701 and continue: 7012 / 988

Let's proceed to step 8:
988 goes into 7012 7 times with a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 56057.0
Subtracting 6916 from 7012 leaves us with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 988 fits into 960 0 times, leaving a remainder of 960.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56057.0
Subtract 0 from 960 to get 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 9600 by 988, we get 9 with a remainder of 708.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 56057.09
Subtracting 8892 from 9600 leaves us with 708.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
988 can be fit into 7080 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 164.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56057.097
Deduct 6916 from 7080 and we're left with 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
988 goes into 1640 1 times with a remainder of 652.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56057.0971
If we take 988 away from 1640, we end up with 652.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
6520 divided by 988 is 6 with a remainder of 592.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56057.09716
The remainder is 592 after subtracting 5928 from 6520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 5920 by 988, we get 5 and a remainder of 980.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 56057.097165
Subtract 4940 from 5920 to get 980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9800, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 988 fits into 9800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 908.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56057.0971659
If we take 8892 away from 9800, we end up with 908.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9080, and continue the process.

Step 16:
988 goes into 9080 9 times with a remainder of 188.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56057.09716599
If we take 8892 away from 9080, we end up with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 56057.09716599 and a remainder of 1.88e-07.
