We look at the division of 866972 by 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 866972.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 86 1 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 56 from 86 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 306 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 306 5 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 280 from 306, we get 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 56

Step 4:
If we divide 269 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 45.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154.0
Subtract 224 from 269 to get 45.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 457 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 457 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1548.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 448 from 457.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 92 / 56

On to step 6:
56 goes into 92 1 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15481.0
If we subtract 56 from 92, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
360 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15481.6
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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 8:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15481.64
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.

Step 9:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15481.642
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15481.6428
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15481.64285
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.

Step 12:
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: 15481.642857
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15481.6428571
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.

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: 15481.64285714
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.

Our division results in 15481.64285714 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
