496873 ÷ 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 496873.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
56 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 496 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 496 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 448 from 496 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 56

On to step 4:
488 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtract 448 from 488 to get 40.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 407 / 56

On to step 5:
56 can be fit into 407 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 887.0
Subtract 392 from 407 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 153 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 153 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 41.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8872.0
If we take 112 away from 153, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
410 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8872.7
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 392 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8872.73
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8872.732
Deduct 112 from 120 and we're left 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 10:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8872.7321
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 11:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8872.73214
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.

Step 12:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8872.732142
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8872.7321428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8872.73214285
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.

The final outcome is 8872.73214285, with a leftover of 4e-08.
