We're dividing 308875 by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 308875 can be divided by 55.

On to step 1:
The number 55 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
55 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 308 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
55 can be fit into 308 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 275 from 308 to get 33.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 338 / 55

Step 4:
55 goes into 338 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 330 from 338, we get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
87 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 561.0
If we subtract 55 from 87, we get 32.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 325 / 55

Step 6:
325 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5615.0
Deduct 275 from 325 and we're left 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 7:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5615.9
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5615.9
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5615.909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
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 10:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5615.909
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.

Advancing to step 11:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5615.90909
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 12:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5615.90909
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5615.9090909
If we subtract 495 from 500, we 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5615.9090909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5615.9090909 with a balance of 5e-08.
