We divide 687217 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 687217.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
56 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 68 to get 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
56 can be fit into 127 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 112 from 127 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 152 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 can be fit into 152 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we take 112 away from 152, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 401 / 56

Step 5:
56 goes into 401 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1227.0
If we subtract 392 from 401, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 97 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12271.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 56 from 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 410 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12271.7
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 392 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12271.73
If we subtract 168 from 180, 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12271.732
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.

On to step 10:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12271.7321
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.

Moving on to step 11:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12271.73214
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.

Advancing to step 12:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12271.732142
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 13:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12271.7321428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12271.73214285
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12271.73214285 with a balance of 4e-08.
