491226 ÷ 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 491226.

Step 1:
The number 56 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 491 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 491 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 448 from 491 and we're left with 43.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 432 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 432 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 40.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87.0
Deduct 392 from 432 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 402 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
402 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 877.0
Subtract 392 from 402 to get 10.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 106 / 56

Step 6:
106 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8771.0
If we subtract 56 from 106, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 500 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8771.8
Subtracting 448 from 500 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 8:
56 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8771.89
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us 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 9:
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: 8771.892
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8771.8928
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.

Advancing to step 11:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8771.89285
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 12:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8771.892857
Subtracting 392 from 400 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 13:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8771.8928571
If we subtract 56 from 80, we get 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 14:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8771.89285714
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.

After the division, we end up with 8771.89285714 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
