56997 ÷ 81 
We want to figure out the number of times 56997 can be divided by 81.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our 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 / 81

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 56 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 56, we end up with 56.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 569 / 81

Going ahead to step 3:
569 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 567 from 569.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 81

Advancing to step 4:
81 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 297 / 81

Step 5:
The number 81 fits into 297 3 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 703.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 243 from 297.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 540 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 54.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 703.6
Deduct 486 from 540 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 540 by 81, we get 6 and a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 703.66
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 486 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Our division results in 703.66 with a remaining 0.054.
