We divide 217906 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 217906.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and 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.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
56 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 goes into 217 3 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 168 from 217.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 499 / 56

On to step 4:
56 goes into 499 8 times with a remainder of 51.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 448 from 499.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 510 / 56

Step 5:
When dividing 510 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 389.0
If we subtract 504 from 510, we get 6.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 66 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 66 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3891.0
Subtracting 56 from 66 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3891.1
Subtract 56 from 100 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 48.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3891.17
Deduct 392 from 440 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3891.178
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.

On to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3891.1785
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.

Moving on to 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: 3891.17857
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.

Advancing to step 12:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3891.178571
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3891.1785714
If we subtract 224 from 240, we 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.

On to step 14:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3891.17857142
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.

The final outcome is 3891.17857142, with a leftover of 4.8e-08.
