We're dividing 203887 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 203887 can be divided by 56.

Step 1:
The number 56 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 203 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 goes into 203 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 168 away from 203, we end up with 35.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 358 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 358 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 336 away from 358, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 228 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 364.0
If we take 224 away from 228, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 47 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3640.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
470 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3640.8
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 448 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
56 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3640.83
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 168 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
520 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3640.839
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.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3640.8392
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 11:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3640.83928
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3640.839285
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.

Moving on to step 13:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3640.8392857
Subtract 392 from 400 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3640.83928571
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3640.83928571 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
