We're dividing 503940 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 503940 can be divided by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 503 / 56

Step 3:
When dividing 503 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 448 from 503, we get 55.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 559 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 559 9 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 504 from 559 and we're left with 55.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 554 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
56 goes into 554 9 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 899.0
Subtract 504 from 554 to get 50.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 500 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
56 goes into 500 8 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8998.0
If we take 448 away from 500, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 520 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8998.9
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8998.92
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 9:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8998.928
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left 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 10:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8998.9285
If we subtract 280 from 320, 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.

On to step 11:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8998.92857
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.

On to step 12:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8998.928571
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8998.9285714
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8998.92857142
Subtracting 112 from 160 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 8998.92857142, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
