55509 ÷ 36 
We want to figure out the number of times 55509 can be divided by 36.

Let's proceed to step 1:
36 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 36

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 36, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 36 from 55.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 195 / 36

On to step 3:
If we divide 195 by 36, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 180 from 195, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 150 / 36

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 36 fits into 150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 154.0
Deduct 144 from 150 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 36

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 36 fits into 69 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1541.0
Deduct 36 from 69 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
330 divided by 36 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1541.9
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 324 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 36 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1541.91
Subtracting 36 from 60 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 8:
36 can be fit into 240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1541.916
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
36 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1541.9166
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1541.9166 with a balance of 0.00024.
