We divide 871651 by 56
We want to divide 871651 by 56.

On to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 56

On to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 87 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 311 / 56

On to step 3:
If we divide 311 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 31.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 280 from 311 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 316 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 316 5 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we take 280 away from 316, we end up with 36.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 365 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 365 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 29.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1556.0
Deduct 336 from 365 and we're left with 29.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 291 / 56

On to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 291 5 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15565.0
Subtract 280 from 291 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 54.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15565.1
Subtracting 56 from 110 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 540 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15565.19
If we take 504 away from 540, we end up 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 9:
The number 56 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15565.196
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.

Step 10:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15565.1964
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15565.19642
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up with 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 12:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15565.196428
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 13:
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: 15565.1964285
Subtracting 280 from 320 leaves us with 40.
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 14:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15565.19642857
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15565.19642857 with a balance of 8e-09.
