We look at the division of 396842 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 396842 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 56

On to step 2:
39 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 39.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 396 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 396 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 392 from 396, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 484 / 56

Step 5:
484 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 708.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 448 from 484.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 362 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 362 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7086.0
If we subtract 336 from 362, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7086.4
Deduct 224 from 260 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7086.46
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7086.464
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 10:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7086.4642
If we subtract 112 from 160, 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 11:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7086.46428
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.

On to step 12:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7086.464285
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7086.4642857
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 14:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7086.46428571
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.

Our division results in 7086.46428571 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
