We look at the division of 271587 by 56 
We want to divide 271587 by 56.

Step 1:
56 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 56

On to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 271 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 47.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 224 from 271 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 475 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 475 8 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 448 from 475 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 56

On to step 5:
56 goes into 278 4 times with a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 484.0
Subtract 224 from 278 to get 54.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 547 / 56

On to step 6:
When dividing 547 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4849.0
If we subtract 504 from 547, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 goes into 430 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4849.7
Deduct 392 from 430 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4849.76
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 336 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
56 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4849.767
Deduct 392 from 440 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.

On to step 10:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4849.7678
Subtracting 448 from 480 leaves us 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 11:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4849.76785
If we subtract 280 from 320, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4849.767857
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
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: 4849.7678571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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 14:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4849.76785714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4849.76785714, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
