494309 ÷ 55 
Our goal is to divide 494309 by 55.

On to step 1:
55 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
49 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 494 / 55

Step 3:
When dividing 494 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 440 away from 494, we end up with 54.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 543 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 goes into 543 9 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 495 from 543 and we're left with 48.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 480 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 480 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 898.0
Subtract 440 from 480 to get 40.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 409 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
55 can be fit into 409 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8987.0
Subtracting 385 from 409 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8987.4
If we subtract 220 from 240, 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8987.43
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8987.436
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.

Moving on to step 10:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8987.4363
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8987.43636
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.

Step 12:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8987.436363
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8987.4363636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8987.43636363
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.

Our division results in 8987.43636363 with a remaining 3.5e-08.
