27982 ÷ 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 27982 can be divided by 55.

Step 1:
55 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 55

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 279 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 275 from 279.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 55

Step 4:
When dividing 48 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 482 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
55 can be fit into 482 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 508.0
Subtract 440 from 482 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 6:
55 goes into 420 7 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 508.7
If we subtract 385 from 420, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 508.76
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
55 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 508.763
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 165 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 508.7636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 508.76363
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 55, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 508.763636
Subtracting 330 from 350 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 200 by 55, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 508.7636363
Subtracting 165 from 200 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 508.76363636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 508.76363636 with a remainder of 2e-08.
