We're dividing 72865137 by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 72865137.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 56 from 72.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 56

Step 3:
The number 56 fits into 168 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 168 from 168 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 6 / 56

On to step 4:
If we divide 6 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 130.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 56

Step 5:
If we divide 65 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1301.0
Subtracting 56 from 65 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 91 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 91 1 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13011.0
Deduct 56 from 91 and we're left with 35.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 353 / 56

Step 7:
353 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 17.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 130116.0
Subtract 336 from 353 to get 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 56

Step 8:
When dividing 177 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1301163.0
Subtract 168 from 177 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
56 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1301163.1
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 56 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
56 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1301163.16
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 40 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1301163.16
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1301163.1607
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 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 13:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1301163.16071
Subtract 56 from 80 to get 24.
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 14:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1301163.160714
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.

Let's proceed to step 15:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1301163.1607142
Subtract 112 from 160 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1301163.16071428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1301163.16071428 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
