We divide 56558838 by 217
We want to divide 56558838 by 217.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 217, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 217

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 56 by 217, we get 0 and a remainder of 56.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 56 to get 56.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 565 / 217

On to step 3:
When dividing 565 by 217, we get 2 with a remainder of 131.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 434 from 565 to get 131.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 131 and continue: 1315 / 217

On to step 4:
217 goes into 1315 6 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 1302 from 1315 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 217

On to step 5:
138 divided by 217 is 0 with a remainder of 138.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 260.0
If we take 0 away from 138, we end up with 138.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 138 and continue with: 1388 / 217

Advancing to step 6:
The number 217 fits into 1388 6 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2606.0
If we subtract 1302 from 1388, we get 86.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 863 / 217

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 863 by 217, we get 3 with a remainder of 212.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26063.0
Subtracting 651 from 863 leaves us with 212.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 212, then repeat: 2128 / 217

Moving on to step 8:
217 can be fit into 2128 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 175.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 260639.0
The remainder is 175 after subtracting 1953 from 2128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
217 goes into 1750 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 260639.8
Deduct 1736 from 1750 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
217 goes into 140 0 times with a remainder of 140.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 260639.8
Subtracting 0 from 140 leaves us with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
217 can be fit into 1400 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 260639.806
The remainder is 98 after subtracting 1302 from 1400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 217 fits into 980 4 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 260639.8064
If we take 868 away from 980, we end up with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
217 can be fit into 1120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 260639.80645
Subtracting 1085 from 1120 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 350 by 217, we get 1 and a remainder of 133.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 260639.806451
Subtracting 217 from 350 leaves us with 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 217 fits into 1330 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 260639.8064516
If we take 1302 away from 1330, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
217 goes into 280 1 times with a remainder of 63.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 260639.80645161
If we subtract 217 from 280, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Our division results in 260639.80645161 with a remaining 6.3e-08.
