Let's divide 487684 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 487684.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
56 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 487 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 39.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 448 away from 487, we end up with 39.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 396 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 396 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87.0
If we subtract 392 from 396, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 870.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 484 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
56 can be fit into 484 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8708.0
If we take 448 away from 484, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8708.6
If we subtract 336 from 360, 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.

Step 8:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8708.64
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8708.642
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left 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 10:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8708.6428
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8708.64285
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 12:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8708.642857
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.

Moving on to step 13:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8708.6428571
Subtract 56 from 80 to 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 8708.64285714
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 8708.64285714 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
