56972 ÷ 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 56972.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 56 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 56 and we're left with 56.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 569 / 59

On to step 3:
59 goes into 569 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 531 from 569, we get 38.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 387 / 59

On to step 4:
387 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 33.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we subtract 354 from 387, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 332 / 59

On to step 5:
If we divide 332 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 965.0
Deduct 295 from 332 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
59 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 965.6
If we subtract 354 from 370, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
160 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 965.62
If we take 118 away from 160, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
59 can be fit into 420 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 965.627
If we take 413 away from 420, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 965.6271
If we take 59 away from 70, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 110 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 965.62711
Subtract 59 from 110 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 965.62711, and the remainder is 5.1e-05.
