We divide 14972 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 14972.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
56 goes into 149 2 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 112 from 149 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 377 / 56

On to step 4:
When dividing 377 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 41.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 336 from 377 and we're left with 41.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 412 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 412 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 267.0
If we subtract 392 from 412, 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.

Advancing to step 6:
56 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 267.3
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 267.35
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.

Step 8:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267.357
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 267.3571
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 267.35714
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267.357142
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.

Moving on to step 12:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267.3571428
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.

Moving on to step 13:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267.35714285
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 267.35714285 with a balance of 4e-08.
