We divide 238974 by 56
Our goal is to divide 238974 by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
56 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 238 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 224 from 238 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
149 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 37.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 112 from 149, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 377 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
56 goes into 377 6 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 426.0
Subtract 336 from 377 to get 41.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 414 / 56

On to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 414 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4267.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 392 from 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4267.3
Subtract 168 from 220 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.

Step 8:
520 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4267.39
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4267.392
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.

Moving on to step 10:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4267.3928
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

Step 11:
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: 4267.39285
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
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 12:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4267.392857
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4267.3928571
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.

On to step 14:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4267.39285714
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 4267.39285714 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
