157249 divided by 55 
We want to divide 157249 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
55 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 55

Step 2:
When dividing 15 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 157 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 47.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 110 from 157.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 472 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 472 by 55, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 440 away from 472, we end up with 32.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 324 / 55

Step 5:
If we divide 324 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 49.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 285.0
Deduct 275 from 324 and we're left with 49.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 499 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
55 can be fit into 499 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2859.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 495 from 499.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2859.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2859.07
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 9:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2859.072
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2859.0727
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up 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 11:
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: 2859.07272
Deduct 110 from 150 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
55 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2859.072727
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
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: 2859.0727272
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.

On to step 14:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2859.07272727
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 2859.07272727, and the remainder is 1.5e-08.
