Let's divide 279118 by 56
Our goal is to divide 279118 by 56.

Step 1:
56 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
56 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
279 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 55.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 224 from 279, we get 55.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 551 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 551 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 504 from 551.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 471 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
56 goes into 471 8 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 498.0
If we take 448 away from 471, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 56

On to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 238 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4984.0
If we take 224 away from 238, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
56 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4984.2
Subtract 112 from 140 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4984.25
If we subtract 280 from 280, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4984.25
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
56 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4984.25
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4984.25, with a leftover of 0.0.
