72899 ÷ 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 72899.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 72 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
56 goes into 168 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 168 from 168.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 56

Step 4:
56 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 130.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 99 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1301.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 56 from 99.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 430 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1301.7
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 392 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1301.76
Subtract 336 from 380 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 440 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1301.767
Subtract 392 from 440 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1301.7678
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1301.76785
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1301.767857
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1301.7678571
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1301.76785714
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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.

The final result is 1301.76785714 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
