We look at the division of 56461603 by 987 
We're looking to find how many times 987 goes into 56461603.

On to step 1:
987 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 987

Step 2:
987 can be fit into 56 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 56 leaves us with 56.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 564 / 987

Advancing to step 3:
987 can be fit into 564 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 564.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 564 after subtracting 0 from 564.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 564 and continue with: 5646 / 987

Advancing to step 4:
5646 divided by 987 is 5 with a remainder of 711.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4935 from 5646, we get 711.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 711 and continue with: 7111 / 987

Moving on to step 5:
7111 divided by 987 is 7 with a remainder of 202.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 6909 from 7111, we get 202.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 202 and continue: 2026 / 987

Going ahead to step 6:
2026 divided by 987 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 572.0
If we take 1974 away from 2026, we end up with 52.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 520 / 987

Let's proceed to step 7:
987 goes into 520 0 times with a remainder of 520.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5720.0
Subtracting 0 from 520 leaves us with 520.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 520 and continue with: 5203 / 987

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 987 fits into 5203 5 times, leaving a remainder of 268.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57205.0
Deduct 4935 from 5203 and we're left with 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
2680 divided by 987 is 2 with a remainder of 706.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 57205.2
If we take 1974 away from 2680, we end up with 706.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
987 can be fit into 7060 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 151.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57205.27
If we subtract 6909 from 7060, we get 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
987 goes into 1510 1 times with a remainder of 523.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 57205.271
If we subtract 987 from 1510, we get 523.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5230, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
5230 divided by 987 is 5 with a remainder of 295.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57205.2715
Subtract 4935 from 5230 to get 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
987 can be fit into 2950 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 976.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57205.27152
Subtracting 1974 from 2950 leaves us with 976.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 9760 by 987, we get 9 with a remainder of 877.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57205.271529
If we subtract 8883 from 9760, we get 877.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 987 fits into 8770 8 times, leaving a remainder of 874.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57205.2715298
Deduct 7896 from 8770 and we're left with 874.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
987 goes into 8740 8 times with a remainder of 844.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57205.27152988
The remainder is 844 after subtracting 7896 from 8740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 57205.27152988, and the remainder is 8.44e-07.
