142249 ÷ 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 142249 can be divided by 56.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 56, we get 0 and 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

Going ahead to step 2:
56 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 56

On to step 3:
142 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 112 from 142, we get 30.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 302 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 302 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 280 away from 302, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 56

On to step 5:
56 goes into 224 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254.0
Deduct 224 from 224 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 9 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2540.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
90 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2540.1
Deduct 56 from 90 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 56, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2540.16
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
56 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2540.16
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2540.1607
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2540.16071
If we subtract 56 from 80, we 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.

On to step 12:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2540.160714
Subtracting 224 from 240 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2540.1607142
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2540.16071428
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 2540.16071428, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
