We look at the division of 988658 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 988658 can be divided by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
56 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 56 from 98 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 428 / 56

On to step 3:
428 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 392 away from 428, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 366 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 can be fit into 366 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtract 336 from 366 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 305 / 56

Step 5:
The number 56 fits into 305 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1765.0
If we subtract 280 from 305, we get 25.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 258 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
258 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17654.0
If we take 224 away from 258, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
56 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17654.6
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
56 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17654.6
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Step 9:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17654.607
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17654.6071
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17654.60714
Subtract 224 from 240 to 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.

On to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17654.607142
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17654.6071428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17654.60714285
Subtracting 280 from 320 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.

The quotient of the division is 17654.60714285, and the remainder is 4e-08.
