We look at the division of 263542 by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 263542.

On 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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 56

Step 2:
When dividing 26 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 263 / 56

Advancing to step 3:
56 goes into 263 4 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 224 from 263 leaves us with 39.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 395 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 395 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 392 from 395 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 34 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 470.0
Deduct 0 from 34 and we're left with 34.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 342 / 56

On to step 6:
56 goes into 342 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4706.0
If we take 336 away from 342, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 60 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4706.1
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
56 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4706.1
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4706.107
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up with 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.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4706.1071
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4706.10714
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
160 divided by 56 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4706.107142
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 480 by 56, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4706.1071428
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4706.10714285
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 4706.10714285, with a leftover of 4e-08.
