988371 ÷ 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 988371.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 98 to get 42.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 428 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 392 from 428 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 363 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 363 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 27.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we take 336 away from 363, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 277 / 56

Step 5:
277 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1764.0
Subtract 224 from 277 to get 53.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 531 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 531 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17649.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 504 from 531.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 270 4 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17649.4
Subtracting 224 from 270 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
56 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17649.48
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 448 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17649.482
If we take 112 away from 120, 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17649.4821
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 11:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17649.48214
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17649.482142
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17649.4821428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
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 14:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17649.48214285
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.

The final result is 17649.48214285 with a remainder of 4e-08.
