We divide 987469 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 987469.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
98 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 56 from 98 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 427 / 56

Step 3:
When dividing 427 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 392 from 427 and we're left with 35.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 354 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
354 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 336 from 354.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 186 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
56 can be fit into 186 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1763.0
Deduct 168 from 186 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
56 can be fit into 189 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17633.0
Subtract 168 from 189 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17633.3
Subtracting 168 from 210 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
420 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 28.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17633.37
If we take 392 away from 420, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17633.375
Subtracting 280 from 280 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17633.375
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
56 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17633.375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17633.375 and a remainder of 0.0.
