We're dividing 981039 by 56 
We want to divide 981039 by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
56 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 56, we get 1 and 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.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 421 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 goes into 421 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 392 from 421.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 290 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 can be fit into 290 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 175.0
If we take 280 away from 290, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 103 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 103 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1751.0
If we take 56 away from 103, we end up with 47.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 479 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 goes into 479 8 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17518.0
Subtract 448 from 479 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
56 goes into 310 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17518.5
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 280 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17518.55
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 280 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17518.55, with a leftover of 0.02.
