870462 divided by 56 
Our goal is to divide 870462 by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
56 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 56 from 87 leaves us with 31.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 310 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 310 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 280 from 310.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 304 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
56 can be fit into 304 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 280 from 304.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 246 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 246 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1554.0
Subtracting 224 from 246 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 222 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 222 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 54.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15543.0
If we subtract 168 from 222, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15543.9
If we subtract 504 from 540, 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.

On to step 8:
56 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15543.96
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15543.964
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15543.9642
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.

Advancing to step 11:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15543.96428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
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 12:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15543.964285
Subtract 280 from 320 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15543.9642857
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15543.96428571
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.

Our division results in 15543.96428571 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
