501589 divided by 56 
We want to divide 501589 by 56.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 56

On to step 2:
56 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 501 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
501 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 53.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 448 from 501 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 535 / 56

Step 4:
If we divide 535 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 504 from 535 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 318 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 318 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 895.0
If we take 280 away from 318, we end up with 38.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 389 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 389 6 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8956.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 336 from 389.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 530 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8956.9
If we subtract 504 from 530, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8956.94
Subtract 224 from 260 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
56 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8956.946
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8956.9464
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 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 11:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8956.94642
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8956.946428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8956.9464285
Subtract 280 from 320 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8956.94642857
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8956.94642857 and a remainder of 8e-09.
