Let's divide 56488271 by 5
We want to divide 56488271 by 5.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 5 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 5 from 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 5

Let's proceed to step 2:
5 goes into 6 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 5 from 6 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 5

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 14 by 5, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we take 10 away from 14, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 5

On to step 4:
The number 5 fits into 48 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1129.0
Deduct 45 from 48 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 5

Advancing to step 5:
5 goes into 38 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11297.0
If we subtract 35 from 38, we get 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 5

On to step 6:
When dividing 32 by 5, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112976.0
If we take 30 away from 32, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 5

Let's proceed to step 7:
5 goes into 27 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1129765.0
Subtract 25 from 27 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 5

Going ahead to step 8:
5 goes into 21 4 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11297654.0
If we subtract 20 from 21, we get 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 9:
The number 5 fits into 10 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11297654.2
Deduct 10 from 10 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11297654.2
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11297654.2
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11297654.2 with a remaining 0.0.
