81878 divided by 56 
Our goal is to divide 81878 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 81 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 81, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 258 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 224 from 258, we get 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 347 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 336 from 347.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 118 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1462.0
Deduct 112 from 118 and we're left with 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 6:
56 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1462.1
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1462.1
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1462.107
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1462.1071
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.

Advancing to step 10:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1462.10714
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 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 11:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1462.107142
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.

Moving on to step 12:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1462.1071428
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1462.10714285
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1462.10714285 with a remaining 4e-08.
