Let's divide 1956 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 1956 can be divided by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 56

On to step 2:
56 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 195 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
56 can be fit into 195 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 168 from 195, we get 27.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 276 / 56

Step 4:
The number 56 fits into 276 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 224 from 276.
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 5:
56 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.9
Subtracting 504 from 520 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.92
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
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: 34.928
Subtract 448 from 480 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.9285
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.

On to step 9:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 34.92857
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.928571
Subtract 56 from 80 to 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.

Step 11:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.9285714
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left 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.

Advancing 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: 34.92857142
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.

The final result is 34.92857142 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
