217284 divided by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 217284.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 56

On to step 2:
21 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
217 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 168 from 217, we get 49.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 492 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
56 goes into 492 8 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtract 448 from 492 to get 44.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 448 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 448 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 388.0
Deduct 448 from 448 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3880.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3880.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3880.07
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3880.071
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3880.0714
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.

Advancing to step 11:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3880.07142
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3880.071428
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3880.0714285
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 14:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3880.07142857
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.

The final outcome is 3880.07142857, with a leftover of 8e-09.
