Let's divide 259631 by 56
We want to divide 259631 by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 56

Step 3:
259 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 224 from 259 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 356 / 56

Step 4:
The number 56 fits into 356 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 336 from 356 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 203 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
203 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 463.0
Deduct 168 from 203 and we're left with 35.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 351 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
56 can be fit into 351 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4636.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 336 from 351.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4636.2
If we subtract 112 from 150, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
56 goes into 380 6 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4636.26
Subtract 336 from 380 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
440 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4636.267
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 392 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4636.2678
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4636.26785
Subtract 280 from 320 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4636.267857
Subtract 392 from 400 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4636.2678571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4636.26785714
Subtracting 224 from 240 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.

Our division results in 4636.26785714 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
