We're dividing 689787 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 689787 by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 56

Step 2:
If we divide 68 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 68, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 129 2 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 112 from 129 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 can be fit into 177 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 123.0
Subtract 168 from 177 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 56

Step 5:
When dividing 98 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1231.0
Deduct 56 from 98 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 56

On to step 6:
If we divide 427 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12317.0
Deduct 392 from 427 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12317.6
If we take 336 away from 350, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
56 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12317.62
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 112 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
56 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12317.625
If we subtract 280 from 280, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12317.625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
0 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12317.625
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12317.625, with a leftover of 0.0.
