We divide 140492 by 56
We want to divide 140492 by 56.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
14 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 56

On to step 3:
56 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 112 away from 140, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 284 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 280 from 284 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
56 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 250.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 492 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 492 8 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2508.0
If we subtract 448 from 492, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 440 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2508.7
Subtracting 392 from 440 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2508.78
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 9:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2508.785
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2508.7857
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 11:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2508.78571
If we subtract 56 from 80, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2508.785714
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.

Step 13:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2508.7857142
Subtracting 112 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2508.78571428
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 2508.78571428, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
