Let's divide 231904 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 231904.

Advancing to step 1:
56 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 56

On to step 2:
56 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 56

On to step 3:
If we divide 231 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 224 from 231 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 56

Step 4:
If we divide 79 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we take 56 away from 79, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 230 / 56

On to step 5:
56 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 414.0
If we take 224 away from 230, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 64 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4141.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 56 from 64.
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 7:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4141.1
Subtract 56 from 80 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4141.14
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 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 9:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4141.142
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 10:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4141.1428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
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:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4141.14285
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
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 12:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4141.142857
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.

Step 13:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4141.1428571
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.

On to step 14:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4141.14285714
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4141.14285714 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
