612721 ÷ 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 612721 can be divided by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 56

On to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 61 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 56 from 61.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 52 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
52 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 52.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 527 / 56

Step 4:
56 goes into 527 9 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtracting 504 from 527 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 232 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
232 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1094.0
Deduct 224 from 232 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 56

Step 6:
56 can be fit into 81 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10941.0
If we take 56 away from 81, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10941.4
Deduct 224 from 250 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10941.44
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 224 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10941.44 and a remainder of 0.036.
