We divide 277847 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 277847 can be divided by 56.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 277 / 56

On to step 3:
56 goes into 277 4 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 224 from 277.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 538 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
538 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 504 from 538 to get 34.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 344 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
56 can be fit into 344 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 496.0
Subtract 336 from 344 to get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
87 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4961.0
If we subtract 56 from 87, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
310 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4961.5
Subtract 280 from 310 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4961.55
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4961.55 with a remaining 0.02.
