We divide 255459 by 56
We want to divide 255459 by 56.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 56

On to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
255 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 224 from 255 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 314 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 314 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 34.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we subtract 280 from 314, we get 34.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 345 / 56

On to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 345 6 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 456.0
If we subtract 336 from 345, we get 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 99 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4561.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 56 from 99.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 56 fits into 430 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4561.7
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 392 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
380 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4561.76
If we subtract 336 from 380, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4561.767
If we subtract 392 from 440, 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.

Step 10:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4561.7678
Subtract 448 from 480 to 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.

On to step 11:
The number 56 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4561.76785
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 280 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4561.767857
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.

Moving on to step 13:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4561.7678571
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4561.76785714
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 4561.76785714 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
