Let's divide 20504 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 20504.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 205 / 56

On to step 3:
205 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 168 from 205 leaves us with 37.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 370 / 56

Step 4:
When dividing 370 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 336 away from 370, we end up with 34.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 344 / 56

On to step 5:
If we divide 344 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 366.0
Subtract 336 from 344 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 366.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 366.14
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 366.142
Subtract 112 from 160 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 366.1428
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 366.14285
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.

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: 366.142857
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.

Advancing to step 12:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 366.1428571
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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 13:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 366.14285714
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.

Our division results in 366.14285714 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
