We look at the division of 985879 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 985879 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 56

On to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 98 to get 42.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 425 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 425 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 392 from 425 to get 33.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 338 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 338 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtract 336 from 338 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
56 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1760.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 279 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 55.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17604.0
If we take 224 away from 279, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 550 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17604.9
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 504 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17604.98
If we take 448 away from 460, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17604.982
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17604.9821
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17604.98214
Subtract 224 from 240 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17604.982142
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17604.9821428
Subtracting 448 from 480 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17604.98214285
If we subtract 280 from 320, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17604.98214285, with a leftover of 4e-08.
