We look at the division of 40959 by 56 
We want to figure out the number of times 40959 can be divided by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 56

On to step 3:
409 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 392 from 409 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 175 / 56

On to step 4:
If we divide 175 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we subtract 168 from 175, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 56

Step 5:
The number 56 fits into 79 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 731.0
Deduct 56 from 79 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
56 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 731.4
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 224 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 731.41
If we take 56 away from 60, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 731.41
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 731.4107
If we subtract 392 from 400, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 731.41071
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 731.410714
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.

Step 12:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 731.4107142
If we subtract 112 from 160, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 731.41071428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 731.41071428 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
