Let's divide 285540 by 56
We want to divide 285540 by 56.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 56

On to step 2:
28 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 285 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 280 from 285 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 55 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 554 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 554 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 50.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 509.0
If we take 504 away from 554, we end up with 50.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 500 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 500 8 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5098.0
If we take 448 away from 500, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 520 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5098.9
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5098.92
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5098.928
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5098.9285
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.

Moving on to step 11:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5098.92857
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.

On to step 12:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5098.928571
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5098.9285714
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 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 14:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5098.92857142
If we subtract 112 from 160, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5098.92857142 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
