Let's divide 223901 by 56
We want to figure out the number of times 223901 can be divided by 56.

On to step 1:
56 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 22 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 goes into 223 3 times with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 168 from 223.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 559 / 56

Going ahead to step 4:
56 goes into 559 9 times with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 504 away from 559, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 550 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
56 can be fit into 550 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 399.0
Deduct 504 from 550 and we're left with 46.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 461 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
461 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 13.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3998.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 448 from 461.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
130 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3998.2
If we take 112 away from 130, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3998.23
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
120 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3998.232
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3998.2321
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 11:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3998.23214
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3998.232142
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
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 13:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3998.2321428
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3998.23214285
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.

The quotient of the division is 3998.23214285, and the remainder is 4e-08.
