We divide 965983 by 56
Our goal is to divide 965983 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
56 can be fit into 96 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 96 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 405 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 405 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 392 from 405 to get 13.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 139 / 56

Step 4:
139 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtracting 112 from 139 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
56 goes into 278 4 times with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1724.0
If we subtract 224 from 278, we get 54.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 543 / 56

Step 6:
When dividing 543 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17249.0
If we subtract 504 from 543, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 390 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17249.6
Subtract 336 from 390 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 540 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17249.69
Subtracting 504 from 540 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
56 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17249.696
Subtracting 336 from 360 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17249.6964
Subtracting 224 from 240 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17249.69642
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17249.696428
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.

On to step 13:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17249.6964285
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.

On to step 14:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17249.69642857
If we subtract 392 from 400, we 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.

The final result is 17249.69642857 with a remainder of 8e-09.
