We divide 421471 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 421471.

Step 1:
4 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 421 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
55 goes into 421 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 385 from 421 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 364 / 55

On to step 4:
364 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Deduct 330 from 364 and we're left with 34.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 347 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
55 can be fit into 347 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 766.0
Subtracting 330 from 347 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 171 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
171 divided by 55 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7663.0
If we subtract 165 from 171, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7663.1
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 55 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
50 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7663.1
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
55 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7663.109
Deduct 495 from 500 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7663.109
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7663.10909
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7663.10909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7663.1090909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7663.1090909
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7663.1090909 with a remaining 5e-08.
