Let's divide 47881 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 47881 can be divided by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
56 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 478 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 goes into 478 8 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 448 from 478 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 308 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 308 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we subtract 280 from 308, we get 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 281 / 56

Step 5:
56 can be fit into 281 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 855.0
Subtract 280 from 281 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 10 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 855.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
100 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 855.01
If we take 56 away from 100, we end up with 44.
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 8:
The number 56 fits into 440 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 855.017
Subtract 392 from 440 to 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.

On to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 855.0178
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.

Advancing to step 10:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 855.01785
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 855.017857
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 855.0178571
If we subtract 56 from 80, 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 855.01785714
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.

Our division results in 855.01785714 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
