Let's divide 725498 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 725498 can be divided by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
72 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 56 from 72, we get 16.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 165 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 165 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 53.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 112 from 165 to get 53.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 534 / 56

On to step 4:
534 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtracting 504 from 534 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
309 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1295.0
If we take 280 away from 309, we end up with 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
298 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12955.0
Subtracting 280 from 298 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12955.3
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
56 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12955.32
If we take 112 away from 120, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12955.321
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 10:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12955.3214
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12955.32142
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12955.321428
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12955.3214285
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12955.32142857
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up 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.

The final result is 12955.32142857 with a remainder of 8e-09.
