Let's divide 740974 by 56
Our goal is to divide 740974 by 56.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 56

Step 2:
When dividing 74 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 74 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 180 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 180 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 129 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 132.0
If we take 112 away from 129, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
56 goes into 177 3 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1323.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 168 from 177.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 94 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
56 goes into 94 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13231.0
If we subtract 56 from 94, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
56 goes into 380 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13231.6
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 336 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 440 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13231.67
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 392 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13231.678
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left 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 10:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13231.6785
If we subtract 280 from 320, we get 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 11:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13231.67857
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.

On to step 12:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13231.678571
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13231.6785714
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13231.67857142
Subtracting 112 from 160 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 13231.67857142, with a leftover of 4.8e-08.
