Let's divide 71677 by 56
Our goal is to divide 71677 by 56.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
56 goes into 71 1 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 56 from 71 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 156 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
156 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 112 away from 156, we end up with 44.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 447 / 56

On to step 4:
56 goes into 447 7 times with a remainder of 55.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127.0
Subtracting 392 from 447 leaves us with 55.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 557 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 557 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 53.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1279.0
Subtract 504 from 557 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 530 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1279.9
If we subtract 504 from 530, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1279.94
If we subtract 224 from 260, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1279.946
If we take 336 away from 360, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1279.9464
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 10:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1279.94642
Subtract 112 from 160 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1279.946428
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.

Step 12:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1279.9464285
Subtracting 280 from 320 leaves us 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 13:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1279.94642857
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.

Our division results in 1279.94642857 with a remaining 8e-09.
