296421 ÷ 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 296421.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 56

On to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 goes into 296 5 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 280 from 296.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 56

Step 4:
164 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we take 112 away from 164, we end up with 52.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 522 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
56 can be fit into 522 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 529.0
Subtracting 504 from 522 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 181 / 56

On to step 6:
56 goes into 181 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5293.0
If we take 168 away from 181, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 130 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5293.2
If we take 112 away from 130, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 180 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5293.23
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5293.232
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us 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 10:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5293.2321
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 11:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5293.23214
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.

Step 12:
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: 5293.232142
If we take 112 away from 160, 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5293.2321428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5293.23214285
Subtract 280 from 320 to 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.

The final outcome is 5293.23214285, with a leftover of 4e-08.
