72116479 divided by 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 72116479.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 72 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 161 / 56

Step 3:
The number 56 fits into 161 2 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 112 from 161.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 491 / 56

Step 4:
491 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 43.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtracting 448 from 491 leaves us with 43.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 436 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
56 goes into 436 7 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1287.0
If we subtract 392 from 436, we get 44.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 444 / 56

Step 6:
The number 56 fits into 444 7 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12877.0
Deduct 392 from 444 and we're left with 52.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 527 / 56

Step 7:
527 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 128779.0
Subtracting 504 from 527 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 56

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 239 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1287794.0
Subtract 224 from 239 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1287794.2
Deduct 112 from 150 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1287794.26
Deduct 336 from 380 and we're left with 44.
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 11:
If we divide 440 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1287794.267
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1287794.2678
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1287794.26785
If we subtract 280 from 320, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1287794.267857
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1287794.2678571
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1287794.26785714
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1287794.26785714 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
