We divide 646986 by 56
We want to divide 646986 by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 56

Step 2:
The number 56 fits into 64 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 64, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 86 1 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 56 from 86 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 goes into 309 5 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 115.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 280 from 309.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 298 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 298 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1155.0
If we take 280 away from 298, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 186 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 186 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11553.0
Deduct 168 from 186 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:
If we divide 180 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11553.3
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 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:
If we divide 120 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11553.32
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11553.321
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.

On to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11553.3214
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11553.32142
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11553.321428
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11553.3214285
Subtract 280 from 320 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
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: 11553.32142857
If we subtract 392 from 400, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 11553.32142857, and the remainder is 8e-09.
