Let's divide 55021259 by 988
We want to figure out the number of times 55021259 can be divided by 988.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 988 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 988

On to step 2:
The number 988 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 550 / 988

Going ahead to step 3:
988 goes into 550 0 times with a remainder of 550.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 550 after subtracting 0 from 550.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 550, then repeat: 5502 / 988

Moving on to step 4:
988 can be fit into 5502 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 562.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4940 from 5502 leaves us with 562.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 562 and continue with: 5621 / 988

Advancing to step 5:
988 goes into 5621 5 times with a remainder of 681.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 4940 from 5621, we get 681.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 681 and continue with: 6812 / 988

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 6812 by 988, we get 6 and a remainder of 884.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 556.0
If we take 5928 away from 6812, we end up with 884.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 884 and continue with: 8845 / 988

On to step 7:
988 can be fit into 8845 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 941.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5568.0
Subtracting 7904 from 8845 leaves us with 941.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 941, then repeat: 9419 / 988

Going ahead to step 8:
988 can be fit into 9419 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 527.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 55689.0
Subtracting 8892 from 9419 leaves us with 527.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 5270 by 988, we get 5 with a remainder of 330.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55689.5
Subtracting 4940 from 5270 leaves us with 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
3300 divided by 988 is 3 with a remainder of 336.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55689.53
If we subtract 2964 from 3300, we get 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
3360 divided by 988 is 3 with a remainder of 396.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 55689.533
If we take 2964 away from 3360, we end up with 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 55689.533 and a remainder of 0.0396.
