Let's divide 897299 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 897299 can be divided by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 56

Step 2:
56 goes into 89 1 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 89, we get 33.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 337 / 56

On to step 3:
When dividing 337 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 336 from 337 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 129 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
56 goes into 129 2 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1602.0
Deduct 112 from 129 and we're left with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 56

On to step 6:
56 goes into 179 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16023.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 168 from 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16023.1
If we take 56 away from 110, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 540 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16023.19
Subtracting 504 from 540 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
56 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16023.196
Subtract 336 from 360 to 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16023.1964
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.

On to step 11:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16023.19642
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up with 48.
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 12:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16023.196428
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16023.1964285
If we subtract 280 from 320, we get 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 14:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16023.19642857
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 16023.19642857 and a remainder of 8e-09.
