Let's divide 850497 by 56
Our goal is to divide 850497 by 56.

On to step 1:
56 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 56

On to step 2:
85 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 85, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 290 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
56 goes into 290 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 280 from 290 and we're left with 10.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 can be fit into 104 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 151.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 56 from 104.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 489 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 41.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1518.0
If we take 448 away from 489, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 417 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
417 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15187.0
If we take 392 away from 417, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15187.4
If we take 224 away from 250, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15187.44
If we take 224 away from 260, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15187.44 with a balance of 0.036.
