Step-by-step solution (long division)

Step 1

Look at the first digit(s) of the dividend: 5. Divide: 2 goes into 5 2 times (2 × 2 = 4). Write 2 above, then subtract: 5 − 4 = 1.

Step 2

Bring down the 6 to make 16. Divide: 2 goes into 16 8 times (2 × 8 = 16). Write 8 above, then subtract: 16 − 16 = 0.

There are no more digits to bring down. So 56 ÷ 2 = 28 exactly (remainder 0), so 2 divides 56 evenly.
