Let's divide 870273 by 56
Our goal is to divide 870273 by 56.

Step 1:
56 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 87, we get 31.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 310 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
310 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 280 from 310 and we're left with 30.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 302 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 302 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtract 280 from 302 to get 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 227 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1554.0
If we subtract 224 from 227, we get 3.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 33 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 33 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15540.0
Subtracting 0 from 33 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.

Step 7:
The number 56 fits into 330 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15540.5
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 280 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
56 goes into 500 8 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15540.58
Subtracting 448 from 500 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15540.589
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15540.5892
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15540.58928
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15540.589285
Subtracting 280 from 320 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15540.5892857
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15540.58928571
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.

After the division, we end up with 15540.58928571 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
