279628 ÷ 56 
We want to divide 279628 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 56

On to step 3:
56 can be fit into 279 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 224 from 279 and we're left with 55.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 556 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
556 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 504 from 556 to get 52.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 522 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 522 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 499.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 504 from 522.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 56

Step 6:
If we divide 188 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4993.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 168 from 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
56 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4993.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4993.35
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4993.357
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.

Step 10:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4993.3571
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4993.35714
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4993.357142
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4993.3571428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we 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:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4993.35714285
Subtracting 280 from 320 leaves us 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 4993.35714285 with a remaining 4e-08.
