Let's divide 256401 by 10
Our goal is to divide 256401 by 10.

On to step 1:
10 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 10

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 10 fits into 25 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 20 away from 25, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 10

On to step 3:
10 can be fit into 56 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 50 from 56 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 10

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 64 by 10, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256.0
If we subtract 60 from 64, we get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 10

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 40 by 10, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2564.0
Subtracting 40 from 40 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 10

Going ahead to step 6:
1 divided by 10 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25640.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 10 by 10, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25640.1
Subtract 10 from 10 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.

Step 8:
The number 10 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25640.1
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 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 9:
The number 10 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25640.1
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 25640.1 and a remainder of 0.0.
