We're dividing 722972 by 56 
We want to divide 722972 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 56 from 72 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 goes into 162 2 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 112 from 162 to get 50.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 509 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 509 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129.0
If we subtract 504 from 509, we get 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 57 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1291.0
Deduct 56 from 57 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12910.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12910.2
Subtracting 112 from 120 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12910.21
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.

On to step 9:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12910.214
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
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: 12910.2142
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12910.21428
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12910.214285
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.

Advancing to step 13:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12910.2142857
Subtract 392 from 400 to 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 14:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12910.21428571
If we subtract 56 from 80, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12910.21428571 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
