We divide 55555742 by 761
We want to divide 55555742 by 761.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 761, we get 0 and 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 / 761

Moving on to step 2:
55 divided by 761 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 555 / 761

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 761 fits into 555 0 times, leaving a remainder of 555.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 555 after subtracting 0 from 555.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 555, then carry on: 5555 / 761

Advancing to step 4:
761 goes into 5555 7 times with a remainder of 228.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 228 after subtracting 5327 from 5555.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 228 and repeat the process: 2285 / 761

Let's proceed to step 5:
2285 divided by 761 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtracting 2283 from 2285 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 761

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 27 by 761, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 730.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 274 / 761

Let's proceed to step 7:
274 divided by 761 is 0 with a remainder of 274.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7300.0
If we take 0 away from 274, we end up with 274.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 274, then carry on: 2742 / 761

Advancing to step 8:
2742 divided by 761 is 3 with a remainder of 459.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73003.0
Deduct 2283 from 2742 and we're left with 459.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4590, and continue the process.

Step 9:
761 goes into 4590 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73003.6
If we take 4566 away from 4590, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 761, we get 0 and a remainder of 240.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73003.6
Subtract 0 from 240 to get 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
761 goes into 2400 3 times with a remainder of 117.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 73003.603
If we take 2283 away from 2400, we end up with 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 761 fits into 1170 1 times, leaving a remainder of 409.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73003.6031
If we take 761 away from 1170, we end up with 409.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4090, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 761 fits into 4090 5 times, leaving a remainder of 285.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73003.60315
If we subtract 3805 from 4090, we get 285.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2850, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 2850 by 761, we get 3 and a remainder of 567.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73003.603153
Subtracting 2283 from 2850 leaves us with 567.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
5670 divided by 761 is 7 with a remainder of 343.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 73003.6031537
Subtract 5327 from 5670 to get 343.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3430, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 3430 by 761, we get 4 with a remainder of 386.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 73003.60315374
Deduct 3044 from 3430 and we're left with 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 73003.60315374 with a balance of 3.86e-07.
