We divide 280873 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 280873.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
56 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 280 / 56

Step 3:
56 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 280 from 280 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 501.0
Subtract 56 from 87 to get 31.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 313 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 can be fit into 313 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5015.0
If we subtract 280 from 313, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5015.5
If we subtract 280 from 330, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
500 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5015.58
Deduct 448 from 500 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
56 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5015.589
If we subtract 504 from 520, 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5015.5892
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.

Step 11:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5015.58928
Subtracting 448 from 480 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 5015.589285
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.

Moving on to step 13:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5015.5892857
Subtracting 392 from 400 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 14:
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: 5015.58928571
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 5015.58928571, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
