We're dividing 266144 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 266144 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
56 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 56

Step 3:
If we divide 266 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 224 from 266 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 421 / 56

On to step 4:
When dividing 421 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 392 from 421.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 294 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 294 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 475.0
Deduct 280 from 294 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 144 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
56 goes into 144 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4752.0
Subtract 112 from 144 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.

On to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4752.5
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4752.57
If we subtract 392 from 400, we 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 9:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4752.571
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4752.5714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4752.57142
Subtracting 112 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4752.571428
Subtracting 448 from 480 leaves us 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 13:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4752.5714285
Subtracting 280 from 320 leaves us 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 14:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4752.57142857
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.

The final result is 4752.57142857 with a remainder of 8e-09.
