We're dividing 167261 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 167261 by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 56

On to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 can be fit into 167 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 112 from 167 to get 55.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 552 / 56

On to step 4:
56 goes into 552 9 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 504 from 552 to get 48.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 486 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 486 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 298.0
If we take 448 away from 486, we end up with 38.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 381 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 goes into 381 6 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2986.0
If we take 336 away from 381, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 can be fit into 450 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2986.8
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 448 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
56 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2986.8
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
56 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2986.803
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
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:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2986.8035
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.

On to step 11:
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: 2986.80357
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2986.803571
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2986.8035714
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2986.80357142
If we subtract 112 from 160, we 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 result is 2986.80357142 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
