Let's divide 500131 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 500131.

Step 1:
5 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 500 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
500 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 448 from 500 and we're left with 52.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 521 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 goes into 521 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
Subtract 504 from 521 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 173 / 56

On to step 5:
56 can be fit into 173 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 893.0
Subtract 168 from 173 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 56

On to step 6:
51 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8930.0
Subtracting 0 from 51 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
56 goes into 510 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8930.9
Deduct 504 from 510 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
56 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8930.91
If we subtract 56 from 60, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8930.91
If we take 0 away from 40, 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.

Moving on to step 10:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8930.9107
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 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 11:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8930.91071
If we subtract 56 from 80, we 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.

On to step 12:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8930.910714
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.

Step 13:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8930.9107142
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8930.91071428
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.

Our division results in 8930.91071428 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
