231993 divided by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 231993.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 231 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 can be fit into 231 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 224 away from 231, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 56 from 79.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 56

On to step 5:
When dividing 239 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 414.0
Subtracting 224 from 239 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 153 / 56

Going ahead to step 6:
56 can be fit into 153 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4142.0
Deduct 112 from 153 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 410 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4142.7
Subtract 392 from 410 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
56 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4142.73
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4142.732
Deduct 112 from 120 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4142.7321
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4142.73214
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4142.732142
If we subtract 112 from 160, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4142.7321428
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4142.73214285
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.

The quotient of the division is 4142.73214285, and the remainder is 4e-08.
