We look at the division of 554842 by 10 
We want to divide 554842 by 10.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 10 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 10

Advancing to step 2:
55 divided by 10 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 50 from 55 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 10

Step 3:
54 divided by 10 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 50 from 54 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 10

Advancing to step 4:
10 can be fit into 48 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 554.0
Deduct 40 from 48 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 10

Advancing to step 5:
10 goes into 84 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5548.0
Subtract 80 from 84 to get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 10

On to step 6:
10 goes into 42 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 55484.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 40 from 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
20 divided by 10 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55484.2
If we subtract 20 from 20, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 10, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 55484.2
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 10, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55484.2
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 55484.2 with a remainder of 0.0.
