988041 divided by 56 
We want to divide 988041 by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
56 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
56 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 98 and we're left with 42.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 428 / 56

Step 3:
428 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 392 from 428, we get 36.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 360 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 244 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 244 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1764.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 224 from 244.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 201 / 56

On to step 6:
If we divide 201 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17643.0
Subtracting 168 from 201 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
330 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.5
Deduct 280 from 330 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.58
If we subtract 448 from 500, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
520 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17643.589
Subtracting 504 from 520 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.5892
Subtracting 112 from 160 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17643.58928
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

Moving on to step 12:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.589285
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.5892857
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 14:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17643.58928571
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.

After the division, we end up with 17643.58928571 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
