We're dividing 479821 by 55 
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 479821.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 55

Step 2:
The number 55 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 55

On to step 3:
479 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 39.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 440 from 479 leaves us with 39.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 398 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 398 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtract 385 from 398 to get 13.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 132 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 132 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 872.0
If we take 110 away from 132, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 221 / 55

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 221 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8724.0
Subtracting 220 from 221 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8724.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8724.01
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.

Moving on to step 9:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8724.018
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 10:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8724.0181
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 55 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
55 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8724.01818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8724.018181
Subtracting 55 from 100 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8724.0181818
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left 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 14:
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: 8724.01818181
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.

Our division results in 8724.01818181 with a remaining 4.5e-08.
