We divide 688336 by 56
We want to divide 688336 by 56.

On to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 68 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 can be fit into 128 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 112 from 128 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 163 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 163 2 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Deduct 112 from 163 and we're left with 51.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 513 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
56 goes into 513 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1229.0
If we subtract 504 from 513, we get 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 can be fit into 96 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12291.0
Deduct 56 from 96 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12291.7
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.

On to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12291.71
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12291.714
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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 10:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12291.7142
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.

Step 11:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12291.71428
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12291.714285
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.

Step 13:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12291.7142857
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12291.71428571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 12291.71428571 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
