Let's divide 55740401 by 45
We want to divide 55740401 by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 45 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 45

Step 2:
45 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 45 from 55 to get 10.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 107 / 45

On to step 3:
When dividing 107 by 45, we get 2 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 90 from 107 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 174 / 45

On to step 4:
174 divided by 45 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123.0
Deduct 135 from 174 and we're left with 39.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 390 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
45 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1238.0
Subtract 360 from 390 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 304 / 45

On to step 6:
The number 45 fits into 304 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12386.0
Deduct 270 from 304 and we're left with 34.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 340 / 45

Let's proceed to step 7:
340 divided by 45 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 123867.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 315 from 340.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 251 / 45

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 45 fits into 251 5 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1238675.0
Subtract 225 from 251 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
45 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1238675.5
If we subtract 225 from 260, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
45 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1238675.57
Subtracting 315 from 350 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 11:
45 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1238675.577
Subtracting 315 from 350 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1238675.577 and a remainder of 0.0035.
