We divide 280599 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 280599 can be divided by 55.

Moving on to step 1:
55 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 55

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 55

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 55 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 275 away from 280, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 55 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 55 from 55 to get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
55 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 510.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 55

Going ahead to step 6:
99 divided by 55 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5101.0
Subtracting 55 from 99 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 55 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5101.8
If we take 440 away from 440, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5101.8
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5101.8
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5101.8 and a remainder of 0.0.
