Let's divide 987114 by 56
Our goal is to divide 987114 by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
56 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
56 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 98, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 427 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
56 can be fit into 427 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 392 from 427 and we're left with 35.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 351 / 56

Step 4:
The number 56 fits into 351 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we subtract 336 from 351, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 151 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 151 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1762.0
If we subtract 112 from 151, we get 39.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 394 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 394 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17627.0
Deduct 392 from 394 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
20 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17627.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17627.03
If we subtract 168 from 200, we 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 9:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17627.035
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 17627.0357
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 17627.03571
Deduct 56 from 80 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 12:
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: 17627.035714
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17627.0357142
Subtracting 112 from 160 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.

On to step 14:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17627.03571428
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.

The quotient of the division is 17627.03571428, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
