Let's divide 310534 by 56
We want to divide 310534 by 56.

On to step 1:
56 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 56

On to step 2:
56 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 310 / 56

Step 3:
310 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 280 from 310 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 305 / 56

On to step 4:
When dividing 305 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 280 from 305, we get 25.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 253 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
253 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 29.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 554.0
Subtract 224 from 253 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 294 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 294 5 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5545.0
Subtract 280 from 294 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
140 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5545.2
Deduct 112 from 140 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
280 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5545.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 280 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
0 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5545.25
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5545.25
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5545.25 with a remaining 0.0.
