24520 divided by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 24520 can be divided by 56.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 56

Step 2:
The number 56 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 245 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
56 can be fit into 245 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 224 from 245 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 212 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 168 from 212.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 440 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
56 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 437.0
If we take 392 away from 440, 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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 437.8
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 437.85
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.857
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.

Step 9:
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: 437.8571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 437.85714
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 437.857142
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 437.8571428
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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 13:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 437.85714285
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.

The final result is 437.85714285 with a remainder of 4e-08.
