Let's divide 674988 by 56
We want to divide 674988 by 56.

On to step 1:
56 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 67 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 67 to get 11.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 114 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 114 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 112 from 114, we get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 56

Step 4:
The number 56 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
56 goes into 298 5 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1205.0
Subtracting 280 from 298 leaves us with 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 188 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12053.0
If we take 168 away from 188, we end up with 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 7:
If we divide 200 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12053.3
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
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 8:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12053.35
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12053.357
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 10:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12053.3571
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.

On to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12053.35714
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.

On to step 12:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12053.357142
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12053.3571428
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.

Moving on to step 14:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12053.35714285
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.

After the division, we end up with 12053.35714285 and a remainder of 4e-08.
