2056842 divided by 496 
We want to figure out the number of times 2056842 can be divided by 496.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 496, 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.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 496

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 496, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 205 / 496

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 205 by 496, we get 0 and a remainder of 205.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 205, we end up with 205.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 205, then repeat: 2056 / 496

Moving on to step 4:
The number 496 fits into 2056 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 1984 from 2056, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 728 / 496

Step 5:
496 can be fit into 728 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 232.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 232 after subtracting 496 from 728.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 232, then repeat: 2324 / 496

Step 6:
496 goes into 2324 4 times with a remainder of 340.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 414.0
The remainder is 340 after subtracting 1984 from 2324.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 340, then repeat: 3402 / 496

Moving on to step 7:
The number 496 fits into 3402 6 times, leaving a remainder of 426.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4146.0
Deduct 2976 from 3402 and we're left with 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 4260 by 496, we get 8 with a remainder of 292.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4146.8
Deduct 3968 from 4260 and we're left with 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

Step 9:
2920 divided by 496 is 5 with a remainder of 440.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4146.85
Subtracting 2480 from 2920 leaves us with 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 4400 by 496, we get 8 with a remainder of 432.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4146.858
Subtract 3968 from 4400 to get 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 4320 by 496, we get 8 and a remainder of 352.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4146.8588
If we subtract 3968 from 4320, we get 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4146.8588 with a remaining 0.00352.
