Let's divide 557971 by 56
Our goal is to divide 557971 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 56

Step 2:
56 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 557 / 56

Step 3:
56 goes into 557 9 times with a remainder of 53.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 504 from 557 and we're left with 53.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 539 / 56

Step 4:
56 goes into 539 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we subtract 504 from 539, we get 35.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 357 / 56

Step 5:
56 goes into 357 6 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 996.0
Subtracting 336 from 357 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 211 3 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9963.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 168 from 211.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 can be fit into 430 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9963.7
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 392 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
380 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9963.76
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 336 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9963.767
If we subtract 392 from 440, we get 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 10:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9963.7678
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
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 11:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9963.76785
Subtract 280 from 320 to 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 12:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9963.767857
Subtract 392 from 400 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9963.7678571
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9963.76785714
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.

The quotient of the division is 9963.76785714, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
