Let's divide 997496 by 56
Our goal is to divide 997496 by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 99 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 99 and we're left with 43.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 437 / 56

On to step 3:
437 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 45.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 392 from 437, we get 45.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 454 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
454 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
Deduct 448 from 454 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 56

On to step 5:
56 goes into 69 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1781.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 56 from 69.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 136 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
56 can be fit into 136 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17812.0
Subtract 112 from 136 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.

Moving on to step 7:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17812.4
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17812.42
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17812.428
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17812.4285
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17812.42857
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up 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 12:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17812.428571
If we subtract 56 from 80, we 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.

Step 13:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17812.4285714
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17812.42857142
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.

The final outcome is 17812.42857142, with a leftover of 4.8e-08.
