We divide 254918 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 254918.

Step 1:
The number 55 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
55 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 55

Step 3:
55 can be fit into 254 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 220 from 254 and we're left with 34.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 349 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
The number 55 fits into 349 6 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 330 from 349, we get 19.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 191 / 55

On to step 5:
55 goes into 191 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 463.0
Deduct 165 from 191 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 268 / 55

On to step 6:
If we divide 268 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4634.0
Deduct 220 from 268 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
55 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4634.8
Subtract 440 from 480 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 55 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4634.87
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4634.872
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4634.8727
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4634.87272
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4634.872727
Subtracting 385 from 400 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
150 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4634.8727272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4634.87272727
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 4634.87272727 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
