We look at the division of 539989 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 539989 can be divided by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
56 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
56 can be fit into 53 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 539 / 56

Step 3:
539 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 504 away from 539, we end up with 35.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 359 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 359 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we take 336 away from 359, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 56

On to step 5:
If we divide 238 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 964.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 224 from 238.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 149 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 149 2 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9642.0
If we subtract 112 from 149, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 370 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 34.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9642.6
If we subtract 336 from 370, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
56 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9642.66
Subtract 336 from 340 to 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.

Our division results in 9642.66 with a remaining 0.004.
