Let's divide 470823 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 470823 can be divided by 56.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 470 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 goes into 470 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 448 from 470 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 56

On to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 228 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
Subtracting 224 from 228 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 56

Step 5:
When dividing 42 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 840.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 423 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 423 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8407.0
If we take 392 away from 423, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8407.5
If we subtract 280 from 310, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8407.55
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8407.55 with a balance of 0.02.
