286871 ÷ 56 
We want to divide 286871 by 56.

Step 1:
2 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 286 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 286 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 280 away from 286, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 68 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Deduct 56 from 68 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 56

On to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 127 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 512.0
Subtracting 112 from 127 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 151 2 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5122.0
Subtract 112 from 151 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
56 can be fit into 390 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5122.6
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 336 from 390.
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 8:
When dividing 540 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5122.69
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 504 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
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: 5122.696
Subtracting 336 from 360 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5122.6964
If we take 224 away from 240, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5122.69642
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5122.696428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we get 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 13:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5122.6964285
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5122.69642857
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
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 5122.69642857, with a leftover of 8e-09.
