We're dividing 78499 by 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 78499.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 78 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 78, we get 22.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 224 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 goes into 224 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 224 from 224 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 9 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 56

On to step 5:
When dividing 99 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1401.0
If we subtract 56 from 99, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 6:
56 goes into 430 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1401.7
If we subtract 392 from 430, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 380 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1401.76
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 336 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
56 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1401.767
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 392 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1401.7678
If we subtract 448 from 480, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1401.76785
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1401.767857
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1401.7678571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1401.76785714
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1401.76785714 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
