186887 ÷ 56 
Our goal is to divide 186887 by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
18 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 56

On to step 3:
56 can be fit into 186 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 168 from 186, we get 18.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 188 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 188 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 168 from 188 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
56 goes into 208 3 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 333.0
If we take 168 away from 208, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 407 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
407 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3337.0
Subtracting 392 from 407 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3337.2
Deduct 112 from 150 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3337.26
If we take 336 away from 380, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
56 can be fit into 440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3337.267
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 392 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3337.2678
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3337.26785
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3337.267857
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 3337.2678571
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 14:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3337.26785714
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.

Our division results in 3337.26785714 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
