976908 divided by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 976908 can be divided by 56.

Step 1:
56 goes into 9 0 times with 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:
If we divide 97 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 97 to get 41.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 416 / 56

On to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 416 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 392 from 416.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
249 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 224 from 249.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 250 / 56

Step 5:
56 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1744.0
Subtracting 224 from 250 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 268 / 56

On to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 268 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17444.0
If we take 224 away from 268, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
440 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17444.7
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17444.78
Subtracting 448 from 480 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 9:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17444.785
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:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17444.7857
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17444.78571
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17444.785714
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.

Step 13:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17444.7857142
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17444.78571428
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17444.78571428 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
