We divide 462238 by 55
We're looking to find how many times 55 goes into 462238.

Step 1:
55 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 55

On to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 462 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 462 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 440 from 462, we get 22.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 222 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
55 can be fit into 222 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we take 220 away from 222, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 55

Step 5:
If we divide 23 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 840.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 238 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
238 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8404.0
If we subtract 220 from 238, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8404.3
Subtracting 165 from 180 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8404.32
Subtract 110 from 150 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8404.327
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
55 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8404.3272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8404.32727
Deduct 385 from 400 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
55 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8404.327272
Deduct 110 from 150 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
400 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8404.3272727
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 150 by 55, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8404.32727272
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 110 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8404.32727272 with a remaining 4e-08.
