478367 divided by 55 
We want to divide 478367 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 55

On to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
55 goes into 478 8 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 440 from 478.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 383 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
383 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtract 330 from 383 to get 53.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 536 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
536 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 869.0
Subtracting 495 from 536 leaves us with 41.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 417 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
55 goes into 417 7 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8697.0
Subtracting 385 from 417 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8697.5
Deduct 275 from 320 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8697.58
If we subtract 440 from 450, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8697.581
If we subtract 55 from 100, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 10:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8697.5818
Subtract 440 from 450 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8697.58181
If we subtract 55 from 100, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8697.581818
Subtract 440 from 450 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
100 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8697.5818181
Subtract 55 from 100 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 450 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8697.58181818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8697.58181818 and a remainder of 1e-08.
