We divide 237997 by 55
We want to divide 237997 by 55.

On to step 1:
55 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 237 / 55

Step 3:
237 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 220 away from 237, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
179 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 165 away from 179, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
149 divided by 55 is 2 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 432.0
If we take 110 away from 149, we end up with 39.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 397 / 55

Step 6:
55 goes into 397 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4327.0
Subtracting 385 from 397 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
55 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4327.2
If we subtract 110 from 120, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4327.21
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4327.218
Subtracting 440 from 450 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
55 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4327.2181
Subtract 55 from 100 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4327.21818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
100 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4327.218181
If we take 55 away from 100, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 13:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4327.2181818
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4327.21818181
Subtract 55 from 100 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4327.21818181, and the remainder is 4.5e-08.
