We look at the division of 56688438 by 231 
Let's see how many times 231 fits into 56688438.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 231

Advancing to step 2:
56 divided by 231 is 0 with a remainder of 56.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 56 to get 56.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 566 / 231

Advancing to step 3:
The number 231 fits into 566 2 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 462 away from 566, we end up with 104.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 104, then carry on: 1048 / 231

Let's proceed to step 4:
231 can be fit into 1048 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 124.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 924 from 1048 and we're left with 124.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 124, then carry on: 1248 / 231

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 1248 by 231, we get 5 with a remainder of 93.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 245.0
Subtract 1155 from 1248 to get 93.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 93, then repeat: 934 / 231

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 231 fits into 934 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2454.0
If we subtract 924 from 934, we get 10.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 103 / 231

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 231 fits into 103 0 times, leaving a remainder of 103.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24540.0
If we subtract 0 from 103, we get 103.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 103 and repeat the process: 1038 / 231

Advancing to step 8:
231 can be fit into 1038 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 114.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 245404.0
Subtract 924 from 1038 to get 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 1140 by 231, we get 4 with a remainder of 216.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 245404.4
If we subtract 924 from 1140, we get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
231 goes into 2160 9 times with a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 245404.49
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 2079 from 2160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 231 fits into 810 3 times, leaving a remainder of 117.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 245404.493
Subtracting 693 from 810 leaves us with 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 231 fits into 1170 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 245404.4935
Subtract 1155 from 1170 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
231 can be fit into 150 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 245404.4935
If we subtract 0 from 150, we get 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 231 fits into 1500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 114.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 245404.493506
The remainder is 114 after subtracting 1386 from 1500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
231 goes into 1140 4 times with a remainder of 216.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 245404.4935064
Deduct 924 from 1140 and we're left with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
231 can be fit into 2160 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 245404.49350649
Subtract 2079 from 2160 to get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 245404.49350649, with a leftover of 8.1e-08.
