Let's divide 740691 by 55
We want to divide 740691 by 55.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 55

Step 2:
When dividing 74 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 55 from 74 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 190 / 55

On to step 3:
55 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 165 away from 190, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 256 / 55

Moving on to step 4:
256 divided by 55 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 220 from 256.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 369 / 55

Moving on to step 5:
The number 55 fits into 369 6 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1346.0
If we subtract 330 from 369, we get 39.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 391 / 55

On to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 391 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13467.0
Subtracting 385 from 391 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
55 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13467.1
Subtracting 55 from 60 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
55 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13467.1
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13467.109
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13467.109
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13467.10909
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13467.10909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13467.1090909
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13467.1090909
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13467.1090909, with a leftover of 5e-08.
