Let's divide 859979 by 56
Our goal is to divide 859979 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 56

Step 2:
56 can be fit into 85 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 85 to get 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 goes into 299 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 280 away from 299, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 199 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 199 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 153.0
If we subtract 168 from 199, we get 31.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 317 / 56

Step 5:
56 can be fit into 317 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1535.0
If we take 280 away from 317, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
56 goes into 379 6 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15356.0
Subtracting 336 from 379 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 430 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15356.7
Subtract 392 from 430 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 can be fit into 380 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15356.76
If we take 336 away from 380, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
56 can be fit into 440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15356.767
Subtracting 392 from 440 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15356.7678
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15356.76785
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 15356.767857
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.

Advancing to step 13:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15356.7678571
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15356.76785714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15356.76785714 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
