72400 divided by 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 72400.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
56 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 56 from 72.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
56 can be fit into 164 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 112 from 164 leaves us with 52.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 520 / 56

On to step 4:
56 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtract 504 from 520 to get 16.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 160 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1292.0
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.

Advancing to step 6:
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: 1292.8
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1292.85
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.

Step 8:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1292.857
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left 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 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: 1292.8571
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 10:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1292.85714
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1292.857142
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.

Moving on to step 12:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1292.8571428
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.

Advancing to step 13:
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: 1292.85714285
If we subtract 280 from 320, we 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.

The final result is 1292.85714285 with a remainder of 4e-08.
