478899 divided by 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 478899.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 56

On to step 2:
56 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 478 / 56

Step 3:
If we divide 478 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 448 from 478 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 can be fit into 308 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 280 from 308 to get 28.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 289 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 289 5 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 855.0
If we subtract 280 from 289, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8551.0
Deduct 56 from 99 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
56 can be fit into 430 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8551.7
Subtracting 392 from 430 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 can be fit into 380 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8551.76
If we take 336 away from 380, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8551.767
Subtracting 392 from 440 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8551.7678
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8551.76785
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.

On to step 12:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8551.767857
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left with 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:
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: 8551.7678571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8551.76785714
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8551.76785714 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
