242402 divided by 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 242402.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 56

On to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 goes into 242 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 224 away from 242, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 184 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 184 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 168 from 184, we get 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 432.0
Subtracting 112 from 160 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 482 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 can be fit into 482 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4328.0
Subtract 448 from 482 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 56 fits into 340 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4328.6
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
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 8:
40 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4328.6
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4328.607
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4328.6071
Subtract 56 from 80 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4328.60714
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4328.607142
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 13:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4328.6071428
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4328.60714285
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4328.60714285 with a balance of 4e-08.
