257086 divided by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 257086.

Going ahead to step 1:
56 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 56

On to step 2:
56 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 56

Going ahead to step 3:
257 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 224 from 257 leaves us with 33.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 330 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 330 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtract 280 from 330 to get 50.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 508 / 56

Let's proceed to step 5:
508 divided by 56 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 459.0
Deduct 504 from 508 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 46 0 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4590.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
460 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4590.8
Subtract 448 from 460 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4590.82
Subtract 112 from 120 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4590.821
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4590.8214
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left 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 11:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4590.82142
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4590.821428
Subtracting 448 from 480 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4590.8214285
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.

Moving on to step 14:
56 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4590.82142857
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 4590.82142857 and a remainder of 8e-09.
