720257 ÷ 56 
We want to divide 720257 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 56

Step 2:
56 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 72 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 112 from 160 to get 48.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 482 / 56

Step 4:
The number 56 fits into 482 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128.0
Deduct 448 from 482 and we're left with 34.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 345 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
56 goes into 345 6 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1286.0
Subtracting 336 from 345 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12861.0
Deduct 56 from 97 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
56 goes into 410 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12861.7
Deduct 392 from 410 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
180 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12861.73
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12861.732
Subtracting 112 from 120 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.

Moving on to step 10:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12861.7321
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12861.73214
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
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 12:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12861.732142
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12861.7321428
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 14:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12861.73214285
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.

Our division results in 12861.73214285 with a remaining 4e-08.
