140744 ÷ 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 140744.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
56 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 56

On to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 112 from 140 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 287 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 280 from 287 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
74 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 251.0
Subtract 56 from 74 to get 18.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 184 / 56

Step 6:
56 goes into 184 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2513.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 168 from 184.
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 7:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2513.2
Subtract 112 from 160 to get 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 8:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2513.28
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.

Step 9:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2513.285
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
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: 2513.2857
Subtract 392 from 400 to 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2513.28571
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2513.285714
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2513.2857142
If we take 112 away from 160, 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 14:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2513.28571428
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.

After the division, we end up with 2513.28571428 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
