487715 divided by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 487715 can be divided by 56.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
56 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 487 8 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 448 from 487 to get 39.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 397 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 397 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtract 392 from 397 to get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 51 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 870.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 0 from 51.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 515 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 can be fit into 515 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8709.0
If we subtract 504 from 515, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
56 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8709.1
If we take 56 away from 110, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 540 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8709.19
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 504 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 9:
56 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8709.196
Subtract 336 from 360 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 10:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8709.1964
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
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 11:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8709.19642
If we subtract 112 from 160, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8709.196428
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.

Advancing to step 13:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8709.1964285
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8709.19642857
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.

The quotient of the division is 8709.19642857, and the remainder is 8e-09.
