55144 ÷ 87 
We want to divide 55144 by 87.

Step 1:
87 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 551 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 goes into 551 6 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 522 from 551.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 294 / 87

On to step 4:
If we divide 294 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 261 from 294.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 334 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 334 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 633.0
If we subtract 261 from 334, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 730 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 633.8
Deduct 696 from 730 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 633.83
Subtracting 261 from 340 leaves us with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 790 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 633.839
Subtracting 783 from 790 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 633.839
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 700 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 633.83908
Subtracting 696 from 700 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 40 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 633.83908
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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 12:
The number 87 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 633.8390804
If we take 348 away from 400, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
520 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 633.83908045
If we take 435 away from 520, we end up with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 633.83908045 and a remainder of 8.5e-08.
