We're dividing 261921 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 261921 by 56.

On to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 261 4 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 224 from 261.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 379 / 56

Step 4:
When dividing 379 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 336 from 379.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 432 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 432 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 467.0
Subtracting 392 from 432 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 401 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 401 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4677.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 392 from 401.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4677.1
If we take 56 away from 90, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
56 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4677.16
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
56 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4677.16
Deduct 0 from 40 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 10:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4677.1607
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.

On to step 11:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4677.16071
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4677.160714
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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 4677.1607142
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.

Moving on to step 14:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4677.16071428
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4677.16071428 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
