Let's divide 499989 by 56
Our goal is to divide 499989 by 56.

On 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
56 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 499 / 56

On to step 3:
If we divide 499 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 448 away from 499, we end up with 51.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 519 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 519 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 504 from 519 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
158 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 892.0
Subtract 112 from 158 to get 46.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 469 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 can be fit into 469 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8928.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 448 from 469.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 210 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8928.3
Subtract 168 from 210 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 420 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8928.37
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 392 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
280 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8928.375
Subtract 280 from 280 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8928.375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
0 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8928.375
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8928.375, and the remainder is 0.0.
