173736 divided by 56 
Our goal is to divide 173736 by 56.

Step 1:
56 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 173 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 173 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 168 from 173 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 goes into 57 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 56 from 57 to get 1.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 56

Step 5:
When dividing 13 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 310.0
Subtract 0 from 13 to get 13.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 136 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
136 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3102.0
Subtracting 112 from 136 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
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: 3102.4
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3102.42
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3102.428
If we take 448 away from 480, 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.

On to step 10:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3102.4285
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.

Moving on 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: 3102.42857
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3102.428571
Subtract 56 from 80 to 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.

Advancing to step 13:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3102.4285714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3102.42857142
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3102.42857142 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
