We're dividing 23901 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 23901 can be divided by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
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

Step 2:
23 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 239 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
239 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 224 from 239 to get 15.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 150 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
150 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 112 from 150 to get 38.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 381 / 56

On to step 5:
56 can be fit into 381 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 426.0
Subtract 336 from 381 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
56 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 426.8
Subtract 448 from 450 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
20 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 426.8
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 426.803
If we take 168 away from 200, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 426.8035
If we subtract 280 from 320, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 426.80357
Subtracting 392 from 400 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.

On to step 11:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 426.803571
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 12:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 426.8035714
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.

On to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 426.80357142
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 426.80357142, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
