We're dividing 284517 by 56 
We want to divide 284517 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
56 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
56 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 284 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
284 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 280 from 284.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 45 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 45 and we're left with 45.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 451 / 56

Step 5:
56 can be fit into 451 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 508.0
Deduct 448 from 451 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
37 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5080.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5080.6
If we subtract 336 from 370, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
340 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5080.66
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5080.66 and a remainder of 0.004.
