We divide 218684 by 56
Our goal is to divide 218684 by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
56 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 218 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 50.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 168 from 218 to get 50.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 506 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 goes into 506 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 504 from 506 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 56

On to step 5:
When dividing 28 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 390.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 284 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3905.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 280 from 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3905.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 3905.07
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3905.071
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 10:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3905.0714
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 3905.07142
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.

On to step 12:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3905.071428
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.

On to step 13:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3905.0714285
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.

Step 14:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3905.07142857
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.

The final outcome is 3905.07142857, with a leftover of 8e-09.
