We look at the division of 708478 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 708478 can be divided by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
56 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 56

On to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 56 away from 70, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 56

On to step 3:
If we divide 148 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 112 from 148 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 364 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 can be fit into 364 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 126.0
If we take 336 away from 364, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 287 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1265.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 280 from 287.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12651.0
If we take 56 away from 78, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
56 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12651.3
Deduct 168 from 220 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 520 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12651.39
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12651.392
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 10:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12651.3928
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12651.39285
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.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 12651.392857
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12651.3928571
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12651.39285714
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 12651.39285714 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
