Let's divide 511446 by 56
We want to divide 511446 by 56.

On to step 1:
56 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
51 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 51.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 51 and we're left with 51.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 511 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 511 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 504 from 511 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 56

Step 4:
The number 56 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 91.0
If we subtract 56 from 74, we get 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 184 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 913.0
If we subtract 168 from 184, we get 16.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 166 / 56

Step 6:
If we divide 166 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9132.0
Subtracting 112 from 166 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9132.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9132.96
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 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 9:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9132.964
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 9132.9642
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9132.96428
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left with 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 12:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9132.964285
If we subtract 280 from 320, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9132.9642857
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 14:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9132.96428571
If we take 56 away from 80, 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.

After the division, we end up with 9132.96428571 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
