56247873 divided by 342 
We're looking to find how many times 342 goes into 56247873.

Going ahead to step 1:
342 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 342

Step 2:
If we divide 56 by 342, we get 0 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 56 leaves us with 56.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 562 / 342

Moving on to step 3:
562 divided by 342 is 1 with a remainder of 220.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 342 from 562 and we're left with 220.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 220, then repeat: 2204 / 342

Step 4:
2204 divided by 342 is 6 with a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 2052 from 2204 to get 152.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 152, then carry on: 1527 / 342

On to step 5:
1527 divided by 342 is 4 with a remainder of 159.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164.0
Subtract 1368 from 1527 to get 159.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 159, then repeat: 1598 / 342

Let's proceed to step 6:
342 goes into 1598 4 times with a remainder of 230.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1644.0
Subtracting 1368 from 1598 leaves us with 230.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 230, then repeat: 2307 / 342

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 342 fits into 2307 6 times, leaving a remainder of 255.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16446.0
Subtracting 2052 from 2307 leaves us with 255.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 255 and repeat the process: 2553 / 342

Advancing to step 8:
2553 divided by 342 is 7 with a remainder of 159.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164467.0
Subtract 2394 from 2553 to get 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 1590 by 342, we get 4 with a remainder of 222.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164467.4
Subtract 1368 from 1590 to get 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
342 can be fit into 2220 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 164467.46
Deduct 2052 from 2220 and we're left with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
1680 divided by 342 is 4 with a remainder of 312.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164467.464
If we take 1368 away from 1680, we end up with 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 342 fits into 3120 9 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164467.4649
Subtracting 3078 from 3120 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 342 fits into 420 1 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164467.46491
If we take 342 away from 420, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 780 by 342, we get 2 and a remainder of 96.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164467.464912
Subtract 684 from 780 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
342 goes into 960 2 times with a remainder of 276.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164467.4649122
If we subtract 684 from 960, we get 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 164467.4649122 and a remainder of 2.76e-06.
