Let's divide 975873 by 56
We want to divide 975873 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 56

On to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 97, we get 41.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 415 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 415 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 392 from 415 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
56 goes into 238 4 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we take 224 away from 238, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 147 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1742.0
If we subtract 112 from 147, we get 35.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 353 / 56

Step 6:
353 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 17.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17426.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 336 from 353.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
170 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17426.3
Subtract 168 from 170 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
20 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17426.3
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
56 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17426.303
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17426.3035
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

Step 11:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17426.30357
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17426.303571
If we subtract 56 from 80, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17426.3035714
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17426.30357142
If we subtract 112 from 160, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17426.30357142 and a remainder of 4.8e-08.
