Let's divide 516242 by 56
We want to divide 516242 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 516 / 56

Step 3:
The number 56 fits into 516 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 504 from 516 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
122 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 92.0
If we subtract 112 from 122, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 104 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 921.0
Subtract 56 from 104 to get 48.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 482 / 56

On to step 6:
If we divide 482 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9218.0
Subtract 448 from 482 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9218.6
If we subtract 336 from 340, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
56 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9218.6
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9218.607
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9218.6071
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9218.60714
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9218.607142
If we subtract 112 from 160, 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 13:
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: 9218.6071428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we get 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 14:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9218.60714285
If we take 280 away from 320, 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.

The quotient of the division is 9218.60714285, and the remainder is 4e-08.
