56871281 divided by 480 
Let's see how many times 480 fits into 56871281.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 480 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 480

Step 2:
56 divided by 480 is 0 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 56 leaves us with 56.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 568 / 480

On to step 3:
If we divide 568 by 480, we get 1 and a remainder of 88.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 480 from 568 to get 88.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 88 and continue: 887 / 480

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 887 by 480, we get 1 and a remainder of 407.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 407 after subtracting 480 from 887.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 407, then carry on: 4071 / 480

Going ahead to step 5:
480 goes into 4071 8 times with a remainder of 231.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we take 3840 away from 4071, we end up with 231.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 231, then repeat: 2312 / 480

Let's proceed to step 6:
480 can be fit into 2312 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 392.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1184.0
Subtracting 1920 from 2312 leaves us with 392.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 392 and continue with: 3928 / 480

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 3928 by 480, we get 8 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11848.0
If we take 3840 away from 3928, we end up with 88.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 88 and continue with: 881 / 480

Let's proceed to step 8:
881 divided by 480 is 1 with a remainder of 401.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118481.0
Deduct 480 from 881 and we're left with 401.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4010, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 480 fits into 4010 8 times, leaving a remainder of 170.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118481.8
Subtract 3840 from 4010 to get 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1700 by 480, we get 3 and a remainder of 260.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118481.83
If we subtract 1440 from 1700, we get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 2600 by 480, we get 5 with a remainder of 200.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118481.835
Deduct 2400 from 2600 and we're left with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
480 goes into 2000 4 times with a remainder of 80.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118481.8354
Subtract 1920 from 2000 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 800 by 480, we get 1 with a remainder of 320.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118481.83541
Subtract 480 from 800 to get 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
480 goes into 3200 6 times with a remainder of 320.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118481.835416
Deduct 2880 from 3200 and we're left with 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 3200 by 480, we get 6 and a remainder of 320.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118481.8354166
If we subtract 2880 from 3200, we get 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 118481.8354166, and the remainder is 3.2e-06.
