42617 ÷ 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 42617.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 56

Step 2:
56 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 426 / 56

Step 3:
56 goes into 426 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 392 from 426 leaves us with 34.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 341 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 341 6 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtract 336 from 341 to get 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 56

Step 5:
When dividing 57 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 761.0
Subtracting 56 from 57 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 10 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 761.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
56 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 761.01
Subtracting 56 from 100 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 440 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 761.017
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 392 from 440.
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 9:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 761.0178
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.

Advancing to step 10:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 761.01785
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.

On to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 761.017857
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
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: 761.0178571
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 761.01785714
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.

The quotient of the division is 761.01785714, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
