Let's divide 836977 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 836977 can be divided by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
56 goes into 83 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 83, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 276 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 276 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 224 away from 276, we end up with 52.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 529 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 can be fit into 529 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149.0
Subtracting 504 from 529 leaves us with 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 56

Step 5:
When dividing 257 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1494.0
Deduct 224 from 257 and we're left with 33.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 337 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 337 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14946.0
If we take 336 away from 337, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14946.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
56 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14946.01
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 56 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
56 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14946.017
Subtract 392 from 440 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14946.0178
If we take 448 away from 480, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14946.01785
Subtract 280 from 320 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14946.017857
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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14946.0178571
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
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: 14946.01785714
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.

After the division, we end up with 14946.01785714 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
