987108 ÷ 56 
Our goal is to divide 987108 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 56 from 98.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 427 / 56

Step 3:
When dividing 427 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 392 from 427 to get 35.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 351 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
351 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we take 336 away from 351, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 150 / 56

Step 5:
56 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1762.0
Deduct 112 from 150 and we're left with 38.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 388 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 388 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17626.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 336 from 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17626.9
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17626.92
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.

Advancing to step 9:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17626.928
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17626.9285
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17626.92857
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17626.928571
Subtract 56 from 80 to 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 13:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17626.9285714
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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.

Step 14:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17626.92857142
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17626.92857142 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
