947461 divided by 56 
We want to divide 947461 by 56.

Step 1:
56 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
56 goes into 94 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 94 to get 38.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 387 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 387 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 336 from 387.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 514 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 514 9 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
Subtracting 504 from 514 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 106 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
56 goes into 106 1 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1691.0
Subtracting 56 from 106 leaves us with 50.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 501 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 501 8 times with a remainder of 53.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16918.0
If we subtract 448 from 501, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
56 goes into 530 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16918.9
If we take 504 away from 530, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16918.94
If we subtract 224 from 260, we 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:
When dividing 360 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16918.946
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16918.9464
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16918.94642
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
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 12:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16918.946428
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.

Advancing to step 13:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16918.9464285
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16918.94642857
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.

The quotient of the division is 16918.94642857, and the remainder is 8e-09.
