842271 ÷ 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 842271.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 84 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 56 from 84 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 282 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 282 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 280 from 282 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 56

On to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 150.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 227 / 56

Step 5:
The number 56 fits into 227 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1504.0
If we take 224 away from 227, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15040.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
56 goes into 310 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15040.5
If we subtract 280 from 310, we 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:
The number 56 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15040.55
Subtracting 280 from 300 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 15040.55, with a leftover of 0.02.
