Let's divide 251849 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 251849 can be divided by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 251 / 56

Step 3:
251 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 27.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 224 from 251.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 56

Step 4:
If we divide 278 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 224 from 278 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 544 / 56

On to step 5:
544 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 40.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 449.0
If we take 504 away from 544, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 409 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4497.0
If we subtract 392 from 409, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
56 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4497.3
Subtracting 168 from 170 leaves us with 2.
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:
When dividing 20 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4497.3
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
56 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4497.303
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4497.3035
Subtract 280 from 320 to 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4497.30357
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4497.303571
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4497.3035714
Subtract 224 from 240 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4497.30357142
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4497.30357142, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
