We divide 171010 by 55
We want to divide 171010 by 55.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 55

On to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 171 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
171 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 165 from 171, we get 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
60 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 55 from 60, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 55

On to step 5:
When dividing 51 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 310.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 0 from 51.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 510 / 55

On to step 6:
55 goes into 510 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3109.0
Deduct 495 from 510 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.

Moving on to step 7:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3109.2
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 8:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3109.27
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3109.272
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.

Step 10:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3109.2727
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 11:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3109.27272
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.

On to step 12:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3109.272727
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.

Moving on to step 13:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3109.2727272
If we subtract 110 from 150, we 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.

Step 14:
55 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3109.27272727
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.

After the division, we end up with 3109.27272727 and a remainder of 1.5e-08.
