We're dividing 55971 by 99 
We want to divide 55971 by 99.

Advancing to step 1:
99 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 99

On to step 2:
The number 99 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 559 / 99

On to step 3:
The number 99 fits into 559 5 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 495 from 559.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 647 / 99

On to step 4:
99 goes into 647 6 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 594 from 647 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 531 / 99

Step 5:
99 can be fit into 531 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 565.0
If we take 495 away from 531, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
99 can be fit into 360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 565.3
If we subtract 297 from 360, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
99 goes into 630 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 565.36
If we subtract 594 from 630, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
99 goes into 360 3 times with a remainder of 63.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 565.363
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 297 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 630 by 99, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 565.3636
If we take 594 away from 630, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
360 divided by 99 is 3 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 565.36363
If we take 297 away from 360, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 99 fits into 630 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 565.363636
Subtracting 594 from 630 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
360 divided by 99 is 3 with a remainder of 63.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 565.3636363
Subtract 297 from 360 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 630 by 99, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 565.36363636
Subtract 594 from 630 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 565.36363636 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
