Let's divide 280648 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 280648.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 56

On to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 280 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 280 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 280 from 280 to get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 56

On to step 5:
When dividing 64 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 501.0
If we subtract 56 from 64, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 56

Step 6:
The number 56 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5011.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 56 from 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5011.5
Subtract 280 from 320 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:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5011.57
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5011.571
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.

On to step 10:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5011.5714
Subtract 224 from 240 to get 16.
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 11:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5011.57142
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left 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 12:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5011.571428
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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5011.5714285
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
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: 5011.57142857
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 5011.57142857 and a remainder of 8e-09.
