997100 ÷ 56 
Our goal is to divide 997100 by 56.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 99 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 99, we get 43.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 437 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 can be fit into 437 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 392 from 437 leaves us with 45.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 451 / 56

On to step 4:
If we divide 451 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we subtract 448 from 451, we get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 56

Step 5:
56 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1780.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 300 / 56

Step 6:
The number 56 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17805.0
If we subtract 280 from 300, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17805.3
If we subtract 168 from 200, we 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.

On to step 8:
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: 17805.35
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17805.357
If we take 392 away from 400, 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17805.3571
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17805.35714
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17805.357142
Subtract 112 from 160 to 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 13:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17805.3571428
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.

Step 14:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17805.35714285
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

Our division results in 17805.35714285 with a remaining 4e-08.
