We're dividing 259426 by 56 
We want to divide 259426 by 56.

Advancing to step 1:
56 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 259 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 224 from 259 to get 35.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 354 / 56

Step 4:
56 goes into 354 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 336 from 354.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 182 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 182 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 463.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 168 from 182.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 146 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 146 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4632.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 112 from 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 can be fit into 340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4632.6
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
40 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4632.6
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4632.607
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.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4632.6071
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 240 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4632.60714
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up 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 12:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4632.607142
Subtracting 112 from 160 leaves us 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 13:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4632.6071428
Deduct 448 from 480 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4632.60714285
If we subtract 280 from 320, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 4632.60714285 with a remainder of 4e-08.
