We divide 988052 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 988052.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 56

On to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 98 and we're left with 42.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 428 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 428 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 392 away from 428, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 360 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 360 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 245 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 245 4 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1764.0
Subtracting 224 from 245 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 212 / 56

On to step 6:
212 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17643.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 168 from 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
440 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17643.7
If we subtract 392 from 440, 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17643.78
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 9:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17643.785
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.

Advancing to step 10:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17643.7857
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.78571
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 12:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17643.785714
Subtracting 224 from 240 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.

On to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.7857142
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.78571428
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.

Our division results in 17643.78571428 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
