We look at the division of 287124 by 56 
We want to divide 287124 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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 56

Step 3:
When dividing 287 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 280 from 287.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 56 from 71 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 152 / 56

Step 5:
If we divide 152 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 512.0
If we take 112 away from 152, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 404 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 404 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5127.0
Subtracting 392 from 404 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
56 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5127.2
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5127.21
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.

On to step 9:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5127.214
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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 10:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5127.2142
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.

Step 11:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5127.21428
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5127.214285
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5127.2142857
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5127.21428571
Subtract 56 from 80 to 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.

The final outcome is 5127.21428571, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
