We're dividing 406940 by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 406940.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 56

Step 2:
The number 56 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 406 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 406 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 392 from 406 leaves us with 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 56

Step 4:
56 goes into 149 2 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we subtract 112 from 149, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 374 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 374 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 726.0
Deduct 336 from 374 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 380 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 380 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7266.0
Subtract 336 from 380 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 440 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7266.7
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 392 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7266.78
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7266.785
If we subtract 280 from 320, we 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.

Step 10:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7266.7857
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left 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 11:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7266.78571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7266.785714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7266.7857142
Subtract 112 from 160 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7266.78571428
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.

The quotient of the division is 7266.78571428, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
