Answer:
Step 1:
Start by setting it up with the divisor 7 on the left side and the dividend 55 on the right side like this:
7 ⟌ 5 5
Step 2:
The divisor (7) goes into the first digit of the dividend (5), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:
0
7 ⟌ 5 5
Step 3:
Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (7 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.
0
7 ⟌ 5 5
0
Step 4:
Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (5 - 0 = 5) and write the answer below.
0
7 ⟌ 5 5
- 0
5
Step 5:
Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (5) like this:
0
7 ⟌ 5 5
- 0
5 5
Step 6:
The divisor (7) goes into the bottom number (55), 7 time(s). Therefore, put 7 on top:
0 7
7 ⟌ 5 5
- 0
5 5
Step 7:
Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (7 x 7 = 49) and write that answer at the bottom:
0 7
7 ⟌ 5 5
- 0
5 5
4 9
Step 8:
Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (55 - 49 = 6) and write the answer at the bottom.
0 7
7 ⟌ 5 5
- 0
5 5
- 4 9
6
You are done, because there are no more digits to move down from the dividend.
The answer is the top number and the remainder is the bottom number.
