We're dividing 255999 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 255999 by 56.

Moving on 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
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 255 / 56

On to step 3:
56 goes into 255 4 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 224 from 255 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 319 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 goes into 319 5 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 280 from 319 and we're left with 39.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 399 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
56 can be fit into 399 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 457.0
Subtract 392 from 399 to get 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
56 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4571.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 56 from 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
56 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4571.4
Subtracting 224 from 230 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
56 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4571.41
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4571.41
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 10:
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: 4571.4107
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.

On to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4571.41071
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4571.410714
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4571.4107142
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4571.41071428
If we take 448 away from 480, 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.

Our division results in 4571.41071428 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
