278267 divided by 55 
Our goal is to divide 278267 by 55.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 55

Advancing to step 2:
55 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 55

Moving on to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 278 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 275 from 278 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 55

Step 4:
55 can be fit into 32 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 0 from 32.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 326 / 55

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 326 by 55, we get 5 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 505.0
Deduct 275 from 326 and we're left with 51.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 517 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 517 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5059.0
If we take 495 away from 517, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5059.4
If we subtract 220 from 220, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5059.4
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5059.4
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5059.4 with a remaining 0.0.
