Let's divide 671289 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 671289 can be divided by 56.

On to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 67 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 67, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 111 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 can be fit into 111 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 56 from 111 and we're left with 55.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 552 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 552 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtracting 504 from 552 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 488 / 56

Step 5:
The number 56 fits into 488 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1198.0
Subtract 448 from 488 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 409 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11987.0
If we subtract 392 from 409, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11987.3
Deduct 168 from 170 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
56 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11987.3
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11987.303
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11987.3035
If we subtract 280 from 320, we get 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 11:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11987.30357
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us with 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 12:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11987.303571
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.

Advancing to step 13:
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: 11987.3035714
Subtract 224 from 240 to 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.

On to step 14:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11987.30357142
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11987.30357142 and a remainder of 4.8e-08.
