Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17640.35
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17640.357
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.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17640.3571
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.

On to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17640.35714
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17640.357142
If we subtract 112 from 160, 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17640.3571428
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17640.35714285
Deduct 280 from 320 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.

The final result is 17640.35714285 with a remainder of 4e-08.
