We divide 686743 by 56
We want to divide 686743 by 56.

On to step 1:
56 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 68, we get 12.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
56 goes into 126 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 112 from 126, we get 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 goes into 147 2 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we take 112 away from 147, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 354 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
354 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1226.0
Deduct 336 from 354 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 183 / 56

Step 6:
If we divide 183 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12263.0
Subtract 168 from 183 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12263.2
If we take 112 away from 150, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 380 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12263.26
Subtracting 336 from 380 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
56 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12263.267
If we subtract 392 from 440, we 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12263.2678
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12263.26785
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12263.267857
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12263.2678571
If we subtract 56 from 80, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12263.26785714
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 12263.26785714, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
