We're dividing 55715044 by 472 
We're looking to find how many times 472 goes into 55715044.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 472, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 472

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 472 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 557 / 472

On to step 3:
When dividing 557 by 472, we get 1 with a remainder of 85.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 472 from 557.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 85 and continue: 851 / 472

On to step 4:
472 can be fit into 851 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 379.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 472 from 851, we get 379.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 379 and repeat the process: 3795 / 472

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 3795 by 472, we get 8 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
Subtracting 3776 from 3795 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 190 / 472

On to step 6:
472 can be fit into 190 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 190.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1180.0
Deduct 0 from 190 and we're left with 190.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 190 and continue: 1904 / 472

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 472 fits into 1904 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11804.0
If we take 1888 away from 1904, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 472

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 164 by 472, we get 0 and a remainder of 164.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118040.0
Subtract 0 from 164 to get 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 472 fits into 1640 3 times, leaving a remainder of 224.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118040.3
If we subtract 1416 from 1640, we get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
472 can be fit into 2240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 352.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 118040.34
Deduct 1888 from 2240 and we're left with 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 3520 by 472, we get 7 with a remainder of 216.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118040.347
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 3304 from 3520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
472 can be fit into 2160 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 272.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118040.3474
The remainder is 272 after subtracting 1888 from 2160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 472 fits into 2720 5 times, leaving a remainder of 360.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118040.34745
Deduct 2360 from 2720 and we're left with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 3600 by 472, we get 7 with a remainder of 296.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118040.347457
If we take 3304 away from 3600, we end up with 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
472 can be fit into 2960 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118040.3474576
If we take 2832 away from 2960, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
472 can be fit into 1280 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 336.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118040.34745762
Subtract 944 from 1280 to 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.

The final result is 118040.34745762 with a remainder of 3.36e-07.
