We look at the division of 511956 by 1 
We want to figure out the number of times 511956 can be divided by 1.

On to step 1:
1 can be fit into 5 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 5 away from 5, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 1

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 1 by 1, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 1 from 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 1

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 1 by 1, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 511.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 1 from 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 1

Step 4:
1 goes into 9 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5119.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 1

Moving on to step 5:
1 goes into 5 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51195.0
Subtract 5 from 5 to get 0.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 6 / 1

On to step 6:
If we divide 6 by 1, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 511956.0
If we take 6 away from 6, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 511956.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 511956.0
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 511956.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
