We divide 55998502 by 493
We're looking to find how many times 493 goes into 55998502.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 493, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of 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 / 493

Step 2:
55 divided by 493 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 559 / 493

On to step 3:
493 can be fit into 559 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 493 from 559 leaves us with 66.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 669 / 493

Moving on to step 4:
493 goes into 669 1 times with a remainder of 176.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 493 from 669 to get 176.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 176 and continue: 1768 / 493

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 493 fits into 1768 3 times, leaving a remainder of 289.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 113.0
The remainder is 289 after subtracting 1479 from 1768.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 289, then repeat: 2895 / 493

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 2895 by 493, we get 5 with a remainder of 430.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1135.0
If we take 2465 away from 2895, we end up with 430.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 430, then carry on: 4300 / 493

Step 7:
When dividing 4300 by 493, we get 8 with a remainder of 356.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11358.0
The remainder is 356 after subtracting 3944 from 4300.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 356, then carry on: 3562 / 493

Moving on to step 8:
493 can be fit into 3562 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 111.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113587.0
The remainder is 111 after subtracting 3451 from 3562.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
493 goes into 1110 2 times with a remainder of 124.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 113587.2
Subtract 986 from 1110 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 10:
1240 divided by 493 is 2 with a remainder of 254.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113587.22
Subtracting 986 from 1240 leaves us with 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 113587.22 with a balance of 0.254.
