976873 divided by 55 
We want to divide 976873 by 55.

Step 1:
The number 55 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 55

On to step 2:
55 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 55 from 97.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 426 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 426 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 385 from 426, we get 41.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 418 / 55

Let's proceed to step 4:
418 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Deduct 385 from 418 and we're left with 33.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 337 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 337 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1776.0
Subtracting 330 from 337 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
55 can be fit into 73 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17761.0
If we take 55 away from 73, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
180 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 15.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17761.3
If we take 165 away from 180, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17761.32
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17761.327
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17761.3272
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17761.32727
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17761.327272
Subtracting 110 from 150 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17761.3272727
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17761.32727272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17761.32727272, with a leftover of 4e-08.
