Let's divide 55046525 by 478
Our goal is to divide 55046525 by 478.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 478 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 478

On to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 478, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 550 / 478

On to step 3:
When dividing 550 by 478, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 478 from 550.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 724 / 478

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 724 by 478, we get 1 with a remainder of 246.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 478 from 724 leaves us with 246.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 246, then repeat: 2466 / 478

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 2466 by 478, we get 5 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 2390 from 2466.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 765 / 478

Advancing to step 6:
765 divided by 478 is 1 with a remainder of 287.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1151.0
Deduct 478 from 765 and we're left with 287.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 287, then repeat: 2872 / 478

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 2872 by 478, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11516.0
Subtract 2868 from 2872 to get 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 478

Going ahead to step 8:
478 can be fit into 45 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115160.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 478 fits into 450 0 times, leaving a remainder of 450.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 115160.0
Subtracting 0 from 450 leaves us with 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 4500 by 478, we get 9 with a remainder of 198.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 115160.09
The remainder is 198 after subtracting 4302 from 4500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 478 fits into 1980 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 115160.094
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 1912 from 1980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
478 can be fit into 680 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 202.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 115160.0941
If we subtract 478 from 680, we get 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
478 goes into 2020 4 times with a remainder of 108.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 115160.09414
If we subtract 1912 from 2020, we get 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 1080 by 478, we get 2 and a remainder of 124.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 115160.094142
Subtract 956 from 1080 to get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 1240 by 478, we get 2 with a remainder of 284.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 115160.0941422
Subtract 956 from 1240 to get 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Our division results in 115160.0941422 with a remaining 2.84e-06.
