540221 ÷ 56 
We want to divide 540221 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
56 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 56

On to step 2:
56 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 540 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 540 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 504 from 540 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 56

On to step 4:
362 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 96.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 336 from 362.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 262 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
56 goes into 262 4 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 964.0
Subtract 224 from 262 to get 38.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 381 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
56 can be fit into 381 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9646.0
Subtract 336 from 381 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
56 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9646.8
If we subtract 448 from 450, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9646.8
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 56 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9646.803
Subtracting 168 from 200 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9646.8035
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 11:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9646.80357
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9646.803571
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us with 24.
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 13:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9646.8035714
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 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 14:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9646.80357142
If we subtract 112 from 160, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 9646.80357142 and a remainder of 4.8e-08.
