We look at the division of 256896 by 3 
Our goal is to divide 256896 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
25 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 24 from 25 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 3

Step 3:
16 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtracting 15 from 16 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Step 4:
3 goes into 18 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 856.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 3

On to step 5:
3 can be fit into 9 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8563.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 3

On to step 6:
6 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85632.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 85632.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85632.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 85632.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
