We divide 279892 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 279892.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 56

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 56

Step 3:
If we divide 279 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 224 from 279, we get 55.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 558 / 56

Step 4:
558 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 504 from 558 and we're left with 54.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 549 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
549 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 45.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 499.0
Deduct 504 from 549 and we're left with 45.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 452 / 56

On to step 6:
56 can be fit into 452 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4998.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 448 from 452.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4998.0
If we take 0 away from 40, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4998.07
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4998.071
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.

Moving on to step 10:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4998.0714
If we subtract 224 from 240, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4998.07142
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up 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.

Step 12:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4998.071428
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4998.0714285
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4998.07142857
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4998.07142857 with a remaining 8e-09.
