We look at the division of 56978869 by 312 
We're looking to find how many times 312 goes into 56978869.

Advancing to step 1:
312 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 312

On to step 2:
56 divided by 312 is 0 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 56, we end up with 56.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 569 / 312

Step 3:
When dividing 569 by 312, we get 1 with a remainder of 257.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 312 from 569 to get 257.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 257, then repeat: 2577 / 312

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 2577 by 312, we get 8 and a remainder of 81.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 2496 away from 2577, we end up with 81.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 81 and repeat the process: 818 / 312

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 818 by 312, we get 2 and a remainder of 194.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 182.0
Subtract 624 from 818 to get 194.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 194 and continue with: 1948 / 312

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1948 by 312, we get 6 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1826.0
Subtracting 1872 from 1948 leaves us with 76.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 766 / 312

Moving on to step 7:
The number 312 fits into 766 2 times, leaving a remainder of 142.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18262.0
The remainder is 142 after subtracting 624 from 766.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 142, then repeat: 1429 / 312

Moving on to step 8:
312 can be fit into 1429 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 181.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 182624.0
The remainder is 181 after subtracting 1248 from 1429.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1810, and continue the process.

Step 9:
312 can be fit into 1810 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 250.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 182624.5
Subtract 1560 from 1810 to get 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
312 goes into 2500 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 182624.58
If we subtract 2496 from 2500, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
312 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 182624.58
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 312, we get 1 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 182624.5801
Subtracting 312 from 400 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Step 13:
312 can be fit into 880 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 256.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 182624.58012
Deduct 624 from 880 and we're left with 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 2560 by 312, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 182624.580128
If we subtract 2496 from 2560, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 640 by 312, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 182624.5801282
Subtracting 624 from 640 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 16:
312 goes into 160 0 times with a remainder of 160.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 182624.5801282
Deduct 0 from 160 and we're left with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

The final result is 182624.5801282 with a remainder of 1.6e-07.
