152878 divided by 56 
We want to divide 152878 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 152 / 56

On to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 152 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 112 from 152 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 56

On to step 4:
If we divide 408 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 392 from 408.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 167 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 55.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272.0
If we take 112 away from 167, we end up with 55.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 558 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
56 can be fit into 558 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2729.0
Deduct 504 from 558 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 540 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2729.9
If we subtract 504 from 540, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
56 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2729.96
Subtract 336 from 360 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2729.964
Subtract 224 from 240 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2729.9642
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.

Advancing to 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: 2729.96428
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2729.964285
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2729.9642857
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2729.96428571
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2729.96428571 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
