853217 divided by 56 
We want to divide 853217 by 56.

Step 1:
The number 56 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 85 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 56 from 85.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 293 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 293 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 280 from 293 to get 13.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 132 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 goes into 132 2 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 152.0
Subtract 112 from 132 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 201 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 201 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1523.0
Subtracting 168 from 201 leaves us with 33.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 337 / 56

Step 6:
56 goes into 337 6 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15236.0
Deduct 336 from 337 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 10 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15236.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
100 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15236.01
If we take 56 away from 100, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 440 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15236.017
Subtracting 392 from 440 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15236.0178
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.

Step 11:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15236.01785
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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 12:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15236.017857
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15236.0178571
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.

Step 14:
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: 15236.01785714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 15236.01785714 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
