Let's divide 872856 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 872856.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 87 and we're left with 31.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 312 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 312 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 280 from 312 to get 32.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 328 / 56

Step 4:
When dividing 328 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 48.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we subtract 280 from 328, we get 48.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 485 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
485 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 37.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1558.0
If we take 448 away from 485, we end up with 37.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 376 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 376 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15586.0
If we take 336 away from 376, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15586.7
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.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 15586.71
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15586.714
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15586.7142
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.

On to step 11:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15586.71428
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15586.714285
Subtracting 280 from 320 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 13:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15586.7142857
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 14:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15586.71428571
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.

After the division, we end up with 15586.71428571 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
