278084 divided by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 278084.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 56

On to step 3:
278 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 224 from 278 to get 54.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 540 / 56

On to step 4:
540 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 504 from 540.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 368 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
56 can be fit into 368 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 496.0
Deduct 336 from 368 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 324 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 324 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4965.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 280 from 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 440 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4965.7
If we take 392 away from 440, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4965.78
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4965.785
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4965.7857
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4965.78571
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
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 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: 4965.785714
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.

On to 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: 4965.7857142
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
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: 4965.78571428
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.

The final result is 4965.78571428 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
