Let's divide 279023 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 279023.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 56

Step 3:
The number 56 fits into 279 4 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 224 from 279 and we're left with 55.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 550 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
550 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 46.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 504 from 550, we get 46.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 462 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 462 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 498.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 448 from 462.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 143 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 can be fit into 143 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4982.0
Deduct 112 from 143 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
310 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4982.5
Subtracting 280 from 310 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
56 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4982.55
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 4982.55 with a remainder of 0.02.
