We look at the division of 586538 by 56 
We want to divide 586538 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 56

Step 2:
If we divide 58 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 56 from 58.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 26 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 265 / 56

Step 4:
If we divide 265 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 41.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 104.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 224 from 265.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 413 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 413 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1047.0
Subtracting 392 from 413 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 218 3 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10473.0
If we subtract 168 from 218, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 500 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10473.8
Deduct 448 from 500 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 520 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10473.89
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10473.892
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.

Advancing to step 10:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10473.8928
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10473.89285
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10473.892857
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.

On to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10473.8928571
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up 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:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10473.89285714
Subtract 224 from 240 to 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.

The final result is 10473.89285714 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
