Let's divide 261637 by 56
We want to divide 261637 by 56.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
56 goes into 261 4 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 224 from 261.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 376 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 can be fit into 376 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 336 from 376.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 403 / 56

Step 5:
If we divide 403 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 467.0
Deduct 392 from 403 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 56

On to step 6:
56 goes into 117 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4672.0
Deduct 112 from 117 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 50 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4672.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
56 goes into 500 8 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4672.08
Subtract 448 from 500 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4672.089
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up 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.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4672.0892
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4672.08928
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:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4672.089285
Subtracting 280 from 320 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4672.0892857
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left 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:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4672.08928571
If we subtract 56 from 80, we 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 result is 4672.08928571 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
