Let's divide 55977047 by 317
We want to divide 55977047 by 317.

Let's proceed to step 1:
317 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 317

On to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 317, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 559 / 317

Advancing to step 3:
317 can be fit into 559 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 242.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 317 from 559, we get 242.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 242, then carry on: 2427 / 317

On to step 4:
2427 divided by 317 is 7 with a remainder of 208.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 2219 from 2427 leaves us with 208.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 208 and repeat the process: 2087 / 317

Advancing to step 5:
The number 317 fits into 2087 6 times, leaving a remainder of 185.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we subtract 1902 from 2087, we get 185.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 185, then repeat: 1850 / 317

Step 6:
The number 317 fits into 1850 5 times, leaving a remainder of 265.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1765.0
If we take 1585 away from 1850, we end up with 265.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 265 and continue with: 2654 / 317

Going ahead to step 7:
317 can be fit into 2654 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 118.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17658.0
The remainder is 118 after subtracting 2536 from 2654.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 118 and repeat the process: 1187 / 317

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 317 fits into 1187 3 times, leaving a remainder of 236.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176583.0
If we subtract 951 from 1187, we get 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 2360 by 317, we get 7 with a remainder of 141.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176583.7
Subtracting 2219 from 2360 leaves us with 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 1410 by 317, we get 4 and a remainder of 142.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176583.74
If we subtract 1268 from 1410, we get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 1420 by 317, we get 4 and a remainder of 152.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176583.744
Subtract 1268 from 1420 to get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 176583.744 with a balance of 0.0152.
