We look at the division of 41996 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 41996 by 56.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 56

On to step 2:
56 can be fit into 41 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 41 to get 41.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 419 / 56

On to step 3:
56 goes into 419 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 392 from 419 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 279 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 can be fit into 279 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 224 from 279 to get 55.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 556 / 56

On to step 5:
56 goes into 556 9 times with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 749.0
Deduct 504 from 556 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 520 by 56, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 749.9
Subtracting 504 from 520 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 749.92
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.

Step 8:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 749.928
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
56 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 749.9285
Subtracting 280 from 320 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 749.92857
Deduct 392 from 400 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.

Step 11:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 749.928571
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 749.9285714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
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 13:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 749.92857142
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up 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 final result is 749.92857142 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
