We divide 255287 by 57
We want to figure out the number of times 255287 can be divided by 57.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 57 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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 / 57

Advancing to step 2:
57 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 57

Advancing to step 3:
255 divided by 57 is 4 with a remainder of 27.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 228 away from 255, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 57

On to step 4:
57 can be fit into 272 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 228 from 272 leaves us with 44.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 448 / 57

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 448 by 57, we get 7 and a remainder of 49.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 447.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 399 from 448.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 497 / 57

Going ahead to step 6:
57 goes into 497 8 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4478.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 456 from 497.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
57 can be fit into 410 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4478.7
If we subtract 399 from 410, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
110 divided by 57 is 1 with a remainder of 53.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4478.71
Subtract 57 from 110 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
530 divided by 57 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4478.719
If we subtract 513 from 530, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
170 divided by 57 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4478.7192
Subtract 114 from 170 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
57 can be fit into 560 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4478.71929
Deduct 513 from 560 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
57 can be fit into 470 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4478.719298
Deduct 456 from 470 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 57, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4478.7192982
Subtracting 114 from 140 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
57 goes into 260 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4478.71929824
If we take 228 away from 260, 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.

The final result is 4478.71929824 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
