We divide 55278234 by 472
We're looking to find how many times 472 goes into 55278234.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 472 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 472

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 472, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 552 / 472

Moving on to step 3:
472 can be fit into 552 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 472 away from 552, we end up with 80.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 807 / 472

Moving on to step 4:
807 divided by 472 is 1 with a remainder of 335.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 335 after subtracting 472 from 807.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 335 and repeat the process: 3358 / 472

Step 5:
472 can be fit into 3358 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 3304 from 3358.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 542 / 472

On to step 6:
If we divide 542 by 472, we get 1 and a remainder of 70.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1171.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 472 from 542.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 703 / 472

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 472 fits into 703 1 times, leaving a remainder of 231.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11711.0
Deduct 472 from 703 and we're left with 231.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 231, then repeat: 2314 / 472

On to step 8:
472 can be fit into 2314 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 426.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117114.0
The remainder is 426 after subtracting 1888 from 2314.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
472 can be fit into 4260 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117114.9
Subtract 4248 from 4260 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
472 goes into 120 0 times with a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117114.9
If we subtract 0 from 120, we get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 472 fits into 1200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 256.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117114.902
Deduct 944 from 1200 and we're left with 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
472 goes into 2560 5 times with a remainder of 200.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117114.9025
If we subtract 2360 from 2560, we get 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
2000 divided by 472 is 4 with a remainder of 112.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117114.90254
The remainder is 112 after subtracting 1888 from 2000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
472 goes into 1120 2 times with a remainder of 176.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 117114.902542
If we subtract 944 from 1120, we get 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Step 15:
472 can be fit into 1760 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 344.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117114.9025423
If we subtract 1416 from 1760, we get 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 472 fits into 3440 7 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117114.90254237
If we subtract 3304 from 3440, we get 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

The final result is 117114.90254237 with a remainder of 1.36e-07.
