Let's divide 721246 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 721246 can be divided by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 72, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 56

On to step 3:
56 can be fit into 161 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 112 away from 161, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 492 / 56

On to step 4:
If we divide 492 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 128.0
If we subtract 448 from 492, we get 44.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 444 / 56

Step 5:
If we divide 444 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1287.0
Subtracting 392 from 444 leaves us with 52.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 526 / 56

Step 6:
56 can be fit into 526 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12879.0
Subtracting 504 from 526 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
220 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12879.3
If we subtract 168 from 220, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
520 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12879.39
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12879.392
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12879.3928
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12879.39285
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12879.392857
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12879.3928571
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up 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 14:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12879.39285714
Subtract 224 from 240 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 12879.39285714 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
