305983 ÷ 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 305983 can be divided by 56.

On to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 56

Step 2:
When dividing 30 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 305 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 305 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 280 from 305, we get 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 goes into 259 4 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 224 away from 259, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 358 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 546.0
If we take 336 away from 358, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 223 / 56

On to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 223 3 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5463.0
Deduct 168 from 223 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 550 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5463.9
Subtracting 504 from 550 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
56 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5463.98
Subtract 448 from 460 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5463.982
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5463.9821
Subtract 56 from 80 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.

Advancing to step 11:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5463.98214
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5463.982142
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5463.9821428
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.

Moving on to step 14:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5463.98214285
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5463.98214285 with a balance of 4e-08.
