Let's divide 717491 by 55
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 717491.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 55

On to step 2:
71 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 71 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
55 can be fit into 167 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 165 from 167, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 55

Step 4:
55 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 130.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 249 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
55 can be fit into 249 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1304.0
If we subtract 220 from 249, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 291 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 291 5 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13045.0
If we subtract 275 from 291, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13045.2
Subtract 110 from 160 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13045.29
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13045.29
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13045.2909
If we take 495 away from 500, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13045.2909
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13045.290909
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13045.290909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 14:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13045.29090909
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13045.29090909, and the remainder is 5e-09.
