We're dividing 972979 by 56 
We want to divide 972979 by 56.

On to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 56

Step 2:
56 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 97 to get 41.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 412 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
56 goes into 412 7 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 392 from 412 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 209 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 goes into 209 3 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173.0
Deduct 168 from 209 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 417 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 417 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1737.0
If we subtract 392 from 417, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 goes into 259 4 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17374.0
If we subtract 224 from 259, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
56 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17374.6
If we subtract 336 from 350, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17374.62
If we take 112 away from 140, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
56 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17374.625
If we take 280 away from 280, we end up 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 0 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17374.625
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17374.625
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.

The quotient of the division is 17374.625, and the remainder is 0.0.
