We divide 284558 by 56
Our goal is to divide 284558 by 56.

On to step 1:
56 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
28 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 284 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
284 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 280 from 284, we get 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 45 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 45.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 45 and we're left with 45.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 455 / 56

On to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 455 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 508.0
Subtracting 448 from 455 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 78 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5081.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 56 from 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 52.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5081.3
Deduct 168 from 220 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
56 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5081.39
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5081.392
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5081.3928
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 11:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5081.39285
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5081.392857
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 13:
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: 5081.3928571
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5081.39285714
Deduct 224 from 240 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5081.39285714 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
