We look at the division of 421789 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 421789 by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
56 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 56

Step 2:
56 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 421 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 can be fit into 421 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 392 from 421 to get 29.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 297 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 can be fit into 297 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 75.0
Deduct 280 from 297 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 178 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 753.0
If we subtract 168 from 178, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 can be fit into 109 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7531.0
Deduct 56 from 109 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 530 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7531.9
Deduct 504 from 530 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7531.94
Deduct 224 from 260 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7531.946
Subtract 336 from 360 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.

On to step 10:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7531.9464
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.

Advancing to step 11:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7531.94642
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.

Advancing to step 12:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7531.946428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7531.9464285
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.

Moving on to step 14:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7531.94642857
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.

The final result is 7531.94642857 with a remainder of 8e-09.
