40279404 divided by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 40279404 can be divided by 56.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 402 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 402 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 392 from 402 to get 10.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 107 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 goes into 107 1 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Deduct 56 from 107 and we're left with 51.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 519 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
519 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 719.0
Subtract 504 from 519 to get 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 56

On to step 6:
154 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7192.0
Subtracting 112 from 154 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 420 / 56

Step 7:
When dividing 420 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 28.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71927.0
Subtracting 392 from 420 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 56

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 can be fit into 284 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 719275.0
If we take 280 away from 284, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 719275.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, 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:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 719275.07
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up 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.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 719275.071
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 719275.0714
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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 719275.07142
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 719275.071428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we 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 15:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 719275.0714285
If we take 280 away from 320, 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.

On to step 16:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 719275.07142857
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 719275.07142857 and a remainder of 8e-09.
