147990 divided by 56 
Our goal is to divide 147990 by 56.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 56

On to step 2:
56 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
147 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 35.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 112 from 147 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 359 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 359 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 336 from 359 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
239 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 264.0
Deduct 224 from 239 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 150 / 56

Step 6:
150 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2642.0
If we subtract 112 from 150, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2642.6
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 336 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
56 can be fit into 440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2642.67
Deduct 392 from 440 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2642.678
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.

Step 10:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2642.6785
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.

Step 11:
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: 2642.67857
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.

On to step 12:
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: 2642.678571
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2642.6785714
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2642.67857142
Subtract 112 from 160 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 2642.67857142 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
