Let's divide 502842 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 502842.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 502 / 56

Step 3:
502 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 448 from 502.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 548 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 548 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 44.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we subtract 504 from 548, we get 44.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 444 / 56

On to step 5:
56 goes into 444 7 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 897.0
Subtracting 392 from 444 leaves us with 52.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 522 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 goes into 522 9 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8979.0
If we subtract 504 from 522, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 180 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8979.3
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
120 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8979.32
If we take 112 away from 120, 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.

Step 9:
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: 8979.321
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8979.3214
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8979.32142
Subtracting 112 from 160 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8979.321428
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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 8979.3214285
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.

On to step 14:
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: 8979.32142857
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.

After the division, we end up with 8979.32142857 and a remainder of 8e-09.
