98704 ÷ 56 
We want to divide 98704 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 98, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 can be fit into 427 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 392 from 427, we get 35.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 350 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 336 from 350.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 56

On to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 144 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1762.0
Subtracting 112 from 144 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1762.5
Subtracting 280 from 320 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1762.57
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 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 8:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1762.571
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
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 9:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1762.5714
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left 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 10:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1762.57142
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1762.571428
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1762.5714285
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1762.57142857
Deduct 392 from 400 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.

After the division, we end up with 1762.57142857 and a remainder of 8e-09.
