284470 ÷ 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 284470 can be divided by 56.

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.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 56

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 56, we get 0 and 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.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
56 can be fit into 284 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 280 from 284 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 goes into 44 0 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 44 and we're left with 44.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 447 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 447 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 507.0
If we take 392 away from 447, we end up with 55.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 550 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 550 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5079.0
Subtract 504 from 550 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
56 goes into 460 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5079.8
Subtract 448 from 460 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5079.82
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 112 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5079.821
If we subtract 56 from 80, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5079.8214
If we subtract 224 from 240, we 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5079.82142
Subtracting 112 from 160 leaves us 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 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: 5079.821428
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5079.8214285
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5079.82142857
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us 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 quotient of the division is 5079.82142857, and the remainder is 8e-09.
