Let's divide 988936 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 988936.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 56 from 98.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 56

On to step 3:
If we divide 428 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 392 away from 428, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
369 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 176.0
Deduct 336 from 369 and we're left with 33.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 333 / 56

On to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 333 5 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1765.0
If we take 280 away from 333, we end up with 53.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 536 / 56

On to step 6:
If we divide 536 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17659.0
If we take 504 away from 536, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17659.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
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 8:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17659.57
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.

Advancing to step 9:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17659.571
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17659.5714
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.

Step 11:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17659.57142
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17659.571428
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.

Advancing to step 13:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17659.5714285
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
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:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17659.57142857
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.

The final result is 17659.57142857 with a remainder of 8e-09.
