978880 ÷ 56 
Our goal is to divide 978880 by 56.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
56 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 97, we end up with 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
56 can be fit into 418 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 392 away from 418, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 56

Step 4:
The number 56 fits into 268 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we take 224 away from 268, we end up with 44.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 448 / 56

Step 5:
448 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1748.0
If we subtract 448 from 448, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17480.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17480.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
56 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17480.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17480.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
