Here's how to solve $56 \div 6$ using long division: Step 1: Divide the dividend (56) by the divisor (6). We need to find how many times 6 goes into 56 without exceeding it. $6 \times 9 = 54$ $6 \times 10 = 60$ (This is too large) So, 6 goes into 56 nine times. Write 9 above the 6 in 56. Step 2: Multiply the quotient digit (9) by the divisor (6). $9 \times 6 = 54$. Write 54 below 56. Step 3: Subtract 54 from 56. $56 - 54 = 2$. This is the remainder. $$ \begin{array}{r} 9 \\ 6\overline{)56} \\ -54 \\ \hline 2 \end{array} $$ The quotient is 9 and the remainder is 2. So, $56 \div 6 = 9$ with a remainder of 2. The long division answer is: $\boxed{\text{9 remainder 2}}$ That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
