Let's divide 242044 by 56
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 242044.

Going ahead to step 1:
56 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 56

Step 2:
The number 56 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 224 from 242 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 180 / 56

On to step 4:
When dividing 180 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 56

On to step 5:
If we divide 124 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 432.0
Subtracting 112 from 124 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 goes into 124 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4322.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 112 from 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4322.2
If we take 112 away from 120, 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.

On to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4322.21
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4322.214
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4322.2142
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4322.21428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4322.214285
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
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 13:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4322.2142857
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 14:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4322.21428571
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4322.21428571, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
