462494 divided by 56 
Our goal is to divide 462494 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
56 goes into 46 0 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 56

On to step 3:
When dividing 462 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 448 from 462 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 144 / 56

Step 4:
The number 56 fits into 144 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 112 from 144 to get 32.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 329 / 56

Step 5:
329 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 825.0
If we take 280 away from 329, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 56

Step 6:
If we divide 494 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8258.0
Deduct 448 from 494 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 460 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8258.8
Deduct 448 from 460 and we're left with 12.
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:
56 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8258.82
If we subtract 112 from 120, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8258.821
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8258.8214
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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 11:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8258.82142
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 12:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8258.821428
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8258.8214285
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8258.82142857
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.

The final result is 8258.82142857 with a remainder of 8e-09.
