We divide 501531 by 55
We want to figure out the number of times 501531 can be divided by 55.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 55 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.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 501 / 55

Step 3:
501 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 495 from 501 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 55

On to step 4:
If we divide 65 by 55, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 91.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 55 from 65.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 103 / 55

Step 5:
55 goes into 103 1 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 911.0
Subtracting 55 from 103 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 481 / 55

Step 6:
55 can be fit into 481 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9118.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 440 from 481.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 410 by 55, we get 7 with a remainder of 25.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9118.7
Subtract 385 from 410 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
250 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9118.74
If we take 220 away from 250, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
300 divided by 55 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9118.745
Deduct 275 from 300 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 250 by 55, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9118.7454
Subtracting 220 from 250 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
55 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9118.74545
If we take 275 away from 300, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
55 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9118.745454
If we take 220 away from 250, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9118.7454545
Subtracting 275 from 300 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
55 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9118.74545454
Subtracting 220 from 250 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9118.74545454 with a remaining 3e-08.
