We look at the division of 146972 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 146972 can be divided by 56.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 146 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
146 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 112 from 146, we get 34.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 349 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 can be fit into 349 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 336 from 349.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 137 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 137 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 262.0
If we subtract 112 from 137, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 56

On to step 6:
56 can be fit into 252 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2624.0
If we take 224 away from 252, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2624.5
Subtract 280 from 280 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2624.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 0 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2624.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2624.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
