We're dividing 988058 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 988058 by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 56

Step 2:
When dividing 98 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 98, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
428 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 392 from 428.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 360 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 245 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 21.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1764.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 224 from 245.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 56

Step 6:
If we divide 218 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 50.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17643.0
If we subtract 168 from 218, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
500 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17643.8
Subtract 448 from 500 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
56 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17643.89
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17643.892
Subtract 112 from 160 to 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 10:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17643.8928
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17643.89285
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.

Advancing to step 12:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.892857
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 13:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17643.8928571
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17643.89285714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 17643.89285714 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
