279249 ÷ 56 
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 279249.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and 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.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our 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

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 279 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 55.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 224 from 279 to get 55.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 552 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 552 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 504 from 552 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 484 / 56

Step 5:
The number 56 fits into 484 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 498.0
Subtracting 448 from 484 leaves us with 36.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 369 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
369 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4986.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 336 from 369.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 can be fit into 330 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4986.5
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 280 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 500 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4986.58
If we take 448 away from 500, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
520 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4986.589
Deduct 504 from 520 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4986.5892
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.

On to step 11:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4986.58928
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.

On to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4986.589285
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4986.5892857
Subtract 392 from 400 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4986.58928571
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.

The final outcome is 4986.58928571, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
