540138 divided by 56 
We want to divide 540138 by 56.

On to step 1:
56 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
56 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 540 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 504 from 540, we get 36.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 361 / 56

On to step 4:
361 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we take 336 away from 361, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 253 / 56

On to step 5:
56 goes into 253 4 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 964.0
Subtract 224 from 253 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 298 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
56 goes into 298 5 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9645.0
Subtracting 280 from 298 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
56 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9645.3
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 9645.32
Deduct 112 from 120 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9645.321
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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 10:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9645.3214
Subtract 224 from 240 to get 16.
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:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9645.32142
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9645.321428
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
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: 9645.3214285
If we subtract 280 from 320, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9645.32142857
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.

Our division results in 9645.32142857 with a remaining 8e-09.
