We're dividing 788717 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 788717 can be divided by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 78 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 56 from 78.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 56

On to step 3:
When dividing 228 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 224 from 228, we get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 47 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 471 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
56 goes into 471 8 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1408.0
If we take 448 away from 471, we end up with 23.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 237 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
56 goes into 237 4 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14084.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 224 from 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14084.2
Subtract 112 from 130 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14084.23
Subtract 168 from 180 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14084.232
Deduct 112 from 120 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14084.2321
Subtract 56 from 80 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14084.23214
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.

Advancing to step 12:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14084.232142
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 13:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14084.2321428
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.

Advancing to step 14:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14084.23214285
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.

Our division results in 14084.23214285 with a remaining 4e-08.
