Let's divide 11982717 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 11982717.

Advancing to step 1:
56 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 56

On to step 2:
11 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 119 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 112 from 119 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 56 away from 78, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 222 / 56

Step 5:
When dividing 222 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 54.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213.0
Deduct 168 from 222 and we're left with 54.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 547 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 547 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2139.0
If we take 504 away from 547, we end up with 43.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 431 / 56

Step 7:
The number 56 fits into 431 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21397.0
Subtract 392 from 431 to get 39.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 397 / 56

Going ahead to step 8:
56 can be fit into 397 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213977.0
If we subtract 392 from 397, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 50 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213977.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
500 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 213977.08
If we subtract 448 from 500, 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.

On to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 213977.089
If we subtract 504 from 520, 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 213977.0892
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213977.08928
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 213977.089285
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.

Let's proceed to step 15:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213977.0892857
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 16:
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: 213977.08928571
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.

The quotient of the division is 213977.08928571, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
