We're dividing 299917 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 299917 can be divided by 56.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
29 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
299 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 280 from 299 and we're left with 19.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 199 / 56

Step 4:
When dividing 199 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtract 168 from 199 to get 31.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 311 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 311 5 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 535.0
Subtracting 280 from 311 leaves us with 31.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
317 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5355.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 280 from 317.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
56 can be fit into 370 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5355.6
Subtracting 336 from 370 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5355.66
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5355.66, and the remainder is 0.004.
