Let's divide 986234 by 56
Our goal is to divide 986234 by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
56 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 98, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 426 / 56

Step 3:
The number 56 fits into 426 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 392 from 426, we get 34.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 342 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 goes into 342 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 336 from 342.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 63 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 63 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1761.0
Subtracting 56 from 63 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
74 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17611.0
Deduct 56 from 74 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 180 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17611.3
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17611.32
If we take 112 away from 120, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17611.321
If we subtract 56 from 80, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17611.3214
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17611.32142
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left 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 12:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17611.321428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17611.3214285
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:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17611.32142857
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.

Our division results in 17611.32142857 with a remaining 8e-09.
