We're dividing 23147 by 56 
We want to divide 23147 by 56.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 56

Let's proceed to step 2:
56 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 231 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 224 from 231 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
74 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 56 from 74 to get 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 56

On to step 5:
56 can be fit into 187 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 413.0
Subtract 168 from 187 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
190 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 413.3
If we subtract 168 from 190, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
56 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 413.33
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 168 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 413.33 with a remaining 0.052.
