Answer:

0 or 0.62921348314 (if done by the calculator)

Explanation:

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 89 on the left side and the dividend 56 on the right side like this:

8 9 ⟌ 5 6

Step 2:

The divisor (89) goes into the first digit of the dividend (5), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:

0

8 9 ⟌ 5 6

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (89 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.

0

8 9 ⟌ 5 6

0

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (5 - 0 = 5) and write the answer below.

0

8 9 ⟌ 5 6

- 0

5

Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (6) like this:

0

8 9 ⟌ 5 6

- 0

5 6

Step 6:

The divisor (89) goes into the bottom number (56), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:

0 0

8 9 ⟌ 5 6

- 0

5 6

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (89 x 0 = 0) and write that answer at the bottom:

0 0

8 9 ⟌ 5 6

- 0

5 6

0

Step 8:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (56 - 0 = 56) and write the answer at the bottom.

0 0

8 9 ⟌ 5 6

- 0

5 6

- 0

5 6
