68973 divided by 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 68973.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
56 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 68, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 129 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
129 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 112 from 129.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 56

On to step 4:
When dividing 177 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123.0
Subtract 168 from 177 to get 9.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 93 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 93 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1231.0
If we subtract 56 from 93, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 6:
56 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1231.6
Subtract 336 from 370 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 340 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1231.66
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1231.66, and the remainder is 0.004.
