We divide 117696 by 56
Our goal is to divide 117696 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 11 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 56

On to step 3:
56 goes into 117 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 112 away from 117, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 56 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 56 from 56, we get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 9 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 210.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 96 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2101.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 56 from 96.
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:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2101.7
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 8:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2101.71
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2101.714
Subtract 224 from 240 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2101.7142
Subtract 112 from 160 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.

On to step 11:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2101.71428
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.

Step 12:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2101.714285
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.

Advancing to step 13:
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: 2101.7142857
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2101.71428571
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.

The final outcome is 2101.71428571, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
