289968 divided by 55 
We want to divide 289968 by 55.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 55

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 goes into 289 5 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 275 from 289 to get 14.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 can be fit into 149 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 110 from 149 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 396 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 396 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 527.0
If we subtract 385 from 396, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 55

On to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 118 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5272.0
Subtracting 110 from 118 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
55 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5272.1
If we subtract 55 from 80, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5272.14
If we subtract 220 from 250, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
55 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5272.145
Subtracting 275 from 300 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 55 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5272.1454
Deduct 220 from 250 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5272.14545
Subtracting 275 from 300 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5272.145454
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 220 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 300 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5272.1454545
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5272.14545454
Subtract 220 from 250 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5272.14545454 with a remaining 3e-08.
