We're dividing 146704 by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 146704.

On to step 1:
56 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 146 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 can be fit into 146 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 112 from 146 to get 34.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 347 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 goes into 347 6 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 336 from 347, we get 11.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 110 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
110 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 54.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 261.0
Deduct 56 from 110 and we're left with 54.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 544 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 544 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2619.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 504 from 544.
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 7:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2619.7
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.

On to step 8:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2619.71
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.

Step 9:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2619.714
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 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: 2619.7142
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2619.71428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we 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.

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: 2619.714285
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2619.7142857
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 2619.71428571
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.

The final outcome is 2619.71428571, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
