Let's divide 55542589 by 164
Let's see how many times 164 fits into 55542589.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 164, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 164

Let's proceed to step 2:
164 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 555 / 164

On to step 3:
164 can be fit into 555 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 492 from 555.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 634 / 164

Going ahead to step 4:
164 can be fit into 634 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 142.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtract 492 from 634 to get 142.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 142 and continue with: 1422 / 164

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 1422 by 164, we get 8 and a remainder of 110.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 338.0
Subtract 1312 from 1422 to get 110.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 110 and repeat the process: 1105 / 164

Step 6:
If we divide 1105 by 164, we get 6 and a remainder of 121.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3386.0
Deduct 984 from 1105 and we're left with 121.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 121, then repeat: 1218 / 164

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 1218 by 164, we get 7 with a remainder of 70.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33867.0
If we take 1148 away from 1218, we end up with 70.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 709 / 164

Let's proceed to step 8:
164 can be fit into 709 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 338674.0
Subtracting 656 from 709 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
530 divided by 164 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 338674.3
Deduct 492 from 530 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
164 can be fit into 380 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 338674.32
Subtract 328 from 380 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 520 by 164, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 338674.323
Deduct 492 from 520 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 164 fits into 280 1 times, leaving a remainder of 116.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 338674.3231
Subtracting 164 from 280 leaves us with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1160 by 164, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 338674.32317
If we subtract 1148 from 1160, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 164, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 338674.32317
Deduct 0 from 120 and we're left with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
1200 divided by 164 is 7 with a remainder of 52.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 338674.3231707
Subtract 1148 from 1200 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 520 by 164, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 338674.32317073
Deduct 492 from 520 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 338674.32317073, and the remainder is 2.8e-08.
