1556438 ÷ 531 
We want to figure out the number of times 1556438 can be divided by 531.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 531, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 531

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 531, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 155 / 531

Moving on to step 3:
531 can be fit into 155 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 155.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 155 after subtracting 0 from 155.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 155, then carry on: 1556 / 531

Step 4:
The number 531 fits into 1556 2 times, leaving a remainder of 494.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 1062 from 1556 and we're left with 494.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 494, then repeat: 4944 / 531

Step 5:
531 goes into 4944 9 times with a remainder of 165.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 4779 from 4944 to get 165.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 165, then carry on: 1653 / 531

Moving on to step 6:
531 goes into 1653 3 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 293.0
Subtracting 1593 from 1653 leaves us with 60.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 608 / 531

Step 7:
The number 531 fits into 608 1 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2931.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 531 from 608.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
770 divided by 531 is 1 with a remainder of 239.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2931.1
Subtracting 531 from 770 leaves us with 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 2390 by 531, we get 4 and a remainder of 266.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2931.14
If we take 2124 away from 2390, we end up with 266.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
2660 divided by 531 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2931.145
If we take 2655 away from 2660, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
50 divided by 531 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2931.145
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 500 by 531, we get 0 with a remainder of 500.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2931.145
The remainder is 500 after subtracting 0 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2931.145 with a remaining 0.0005.
