Let's divide 497985 by 55
We want to divide 497985 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 55

On to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 497 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 497 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 495 from 497 to get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 55

Step 4:
55 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 298 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 905.0
Subtracting 275 from 298 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 235 / 55

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 235 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9054.0
Deduct 220 from 235 and we're left 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 7:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9054.2
Deduct 110 from 150 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9054.27
Deduct 385 from 400 and we're left 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 9:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9054.272
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.

On to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9054.2727
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9054.27272
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.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 9054.272727
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.

Step 13:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9054.2727272
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 14:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9054.27272727
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9054.27272727 with a remaining 1.5e-08.
