981458 ÷ 56 
We want to divide 981458 by 56.

Step 1:
The number 56 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 56 from 98.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 421 / 56

Step 3:
56 can be fit into 421 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 392 from 421.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 294 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 294 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Subtract 280 from 294 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 145 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
56 can be fit into 145 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1752.0
If we take 112 away from 145, we end up with 33.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 56

Step 6:
56 goes into 338 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17526.0
If we take 336 away from 338, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 20 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17526.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 56 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17526.03
If we take 168 away from 200, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 17526.035
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17526.0357
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17526.03571
Subtract 56 from 80 to get 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 12:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17526.035714
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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 13:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17526.0357142
Subtract 112 from 160 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17526.03571428
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

The final result is 17526.03571428 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
