We divide 272699 by 55
We want to divide 272699 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
55 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
27 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 272 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 220 from 272 and we're left with 52.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 526 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 526 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 495 away from 526, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 319 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 319 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 495.0
If we subtract 275 from 319, we get 44.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 449 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 449 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4958.0
Subtract 440 from 449 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
55 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4958.1
Subtract 55 from 90 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4958.16
If we take 330 away from 350, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4958.163
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4958.1636
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 330 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4958.16363
Deduct 165 from 200 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4958.163636
If we take 330 away from 350, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4958.1636363
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up 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 14:
55 can be fit into 350 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4958.16363636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4958.16363636, and the remainder is 2e-08.
