876179 ÷ 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 876179 can be divided by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
56 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 87, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 316 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 can be fit into 316 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 280 from 316.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 56

Step 4:
361 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 156.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 336 from 361.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 56

Step 5:
56 can be fit into 257 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1564.0
Subtracting 224 from 257 leaves us with 33.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 339 / 56

On to step 6:
339 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15646.0
Deduct 336 from 339 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15646.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
56 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15646.05
If we subtract 280 from 300, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
56 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15646.053
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15646.0535
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15646.05357
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15646.053571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15646.0535714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
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 14:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15646.05357142
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15646.05357142 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
