We divide 480542 by 56
Our goal is to divide 480542 by 56.

Going ahead 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.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 56

Step 2:
When dividing 48 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 480 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 325 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 goes into 325 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 280 from 325.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 454 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 454 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 858.0
Subtracting 448 from 454 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
62 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8581.0
If we subtract 56 from 62, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
60 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8581.1
If we subtract 56 from 60, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
56 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8581.1
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8581.107
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 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 10:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8581.1071
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.

On to step 11:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8581.10714
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.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 8581.107142
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8581.1071428
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 14:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8581.10714285
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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.

The final result is 8581.10714285 with a remainder of 4e-08.
