We divide 78842 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 78842.

On to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 78 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 78 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 228 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 224 from 228 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 44 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 140.0
Deduct 0 from 44 and we're left with 44.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 442 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
442 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 50.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1407.0
If we take 392 away from 442, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 500 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1407.8
Subtract 448 from 500 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 56 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1407.89
If we subtract 504 from 520, we 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 8:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1407.892
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1407.8928
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left 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:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1407.89285
Subtract 280 from 320 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1407.892857
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 12:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1407.8928571
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1407.89285714
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1407.89285714 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
