Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{9}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\60&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}5&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$5$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$5-60 \cdot 0 = 5 - 0= 5$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Brown}{5}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$55$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$55-60 \cdot 0 = 55 - 0= 55$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Crimson}{5}&\color{Crimson}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$550$$$?

The answer is $$$9$$$.

Write down $$$9$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$550-60 \cdot 9 = 550 - 540= 10$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&\color{Red}{9}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Red}{5}&\color{Red}{5}&\color{Red}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

Write down $$$1$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$100-60 \cdot 1 = 100 - 60= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&9&\color{GoldenRod}{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{GoldenRod}{1}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$400-60 \cdot 6 = 400 - 360= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&9&1&.&\color{BlueViolet}{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{BlueViolet}{4}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{BlueViolet}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 6

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$400-60 \cdot 6 = 400 - 360= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&9&1&.&6&\color{Chocolate}{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0&0&.&0&0& 0 \downarrow\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{Chocolate}{4}&\phantom{.}&\color{Chocolate}{0}&\color{Chocolate}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&3&\phantom{.}&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&4&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 7

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$400-60 \cdot 6 = 400 - 360= 40$$$.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&9&1&.&6&6&\color{Peru}{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}5&5&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}5&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}5&4&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}&0\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0&0\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&3&\phantom{.}&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&\color{Peru}{4}&\color{Peru}{0}&\color{Peru}{0}\\&&&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&&&3&6&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&&&&4&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{5500}{60}=91.6 \overline{6}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{5500}{60}=91.6\overline{6}$$$
