We divide 873496 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 873496.

Going ahead to step 1:
56 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 87, we get 31.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 313 / 56

On to step 3:
56 goes into 313 5 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 280 from 313 and we're left with 33.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 334 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 334 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
Deduct 280 from 334 and we're left with 54.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 549 / 56

On to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 549 9 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1559.0
Subtracting 504 from 549 leaves us with 45.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 456 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 can be fit into 456 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15598.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 448 from 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15598.1
If we subtract 56 from 80, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15598.14
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.

Step 9:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15598.142
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15598.1428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
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.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15598.14285
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15598.142857
Subtract 392 from 400 to 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.

Advancing to step 13:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15598.1428571
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.

Step 14:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15598.14285714
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.

After the division, we end up with 15598.14285714 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
