86938 divided by 56 
Our goal is to divide 86938 by 56.

On to step 1:
56 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 86 1 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 56 from 86 leaves us with 30.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 309 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 309 5 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 280 from 309 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 293 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 goes into 293 5 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we subtract 280 from 293, we get 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
56 goes into 138 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1552.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 112 from 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
260 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1552.4
Subtracting 224 from 260 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 360 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1552.46
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1552.464
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1552.4642
If we subtract 112 from 160, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1552.46428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1552.464285
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1552.4642857
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1552.46428571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1552.46428571 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
