We divide 268722 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 268722.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 56

Step 2:
26 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 268 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
268 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 224 from 268 leaves us with 44.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 447 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 447 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 55.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 392 away from 447, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 552 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 552 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 479.0
Subtracting 504 from 552 leaves us with 48.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 482 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
482 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4798.0
If we take 448 away from 482, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
56 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4798.6
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
40 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4798.6
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4798.607
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4798.6071
If we subtract 56 from 80, we 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.

Step 11:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4798.60714
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4798.607142
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.

On to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4798.6071428
Subtract 448 from 480 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed 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: 4798.60714285
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

Our division results in 4798.60714285 with a remaining 4e-08.
