We're dividing 431901 by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 431901.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 43 0 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 43 to get 43.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 431 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 goes into 431 7 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 392 from 431 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 399 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 399 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 392 from 399.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 70 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 771.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 56 from 70.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 141 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 29.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7712.0
Subtract 112 from 141 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
290 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7712.5
If we subtract 280 from 290, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
56 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7712.51
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 56 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
440 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7712.517
If we take 392 away from 440, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7712.5178
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.

Advancing to step 11:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7712.51785
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7712.517857
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.

Advancing to step 13:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7712.5178571
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 14:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7712.51785714
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 7712.51785714 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
