We look at the division of 487061 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 487061 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 56

Step 2:
56 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 56

On to step 3:
If we divide 487 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 39.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 448 from 487.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 390 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
390 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 86.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 336 from 390.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 546 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 546 9 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 869.0
If we take 504 away from 546, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 421 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
421 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8697.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 392 from 421.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8697.5
Subtract 280 from 290 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8697.51
Subtracting 56 from 100 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 440 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8697.517
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 392 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8697.5178
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8697.51785
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8697.517857
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.

Going ahead 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: 8697.5178571
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.

Step 14:
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: 8697.51785714
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.

After the division, we end up with 8697.51785714 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
