We divide 271273 by 56
Our goal is to divide 271273 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
27 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 271 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 271 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 224 from 271 leaves us with 47.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 472 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
56 goes into 472 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 448 away from 472, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 247 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 23.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 484.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 224 from 247.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 233 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
233 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4844.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 224 from 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 56 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4844.1
Deduct 56 from 90 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4844.16
If we subtract 336 from 340, we 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.

Step 9:
The number 56 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4844.16
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4844.1607
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4844.16071
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4844.160714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4844.1607142
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4844.16071428
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.

The final outcome is 4844.16071428, with a leftover of 3.2e-08.
