986054 ÷ 56 
We want to divide 986054 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 98 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 426 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
56 can be fit into 426 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 392 from 426, we get 34.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 340 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
56 goes into 45 0 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1760.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, we get 45.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 454 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
454 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17608.0
Subtract 448 from 454 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17608.1
If we subtract 56 from 60, 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.

On to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17608.1
If we subtract 0 from 40, 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.

Step 9:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17608.107
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.

On to step 10:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17608.1071
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17608.10714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
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 12:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17608.107142
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17608.1071428
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.

Step 14:
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: 17608.10714285
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.

The quotient of the division is 17608.10714285, and the remainder is 4e-08.
