We're dividing 257583 by 56 
We want to divide 257583 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 56

On to step 2:
The number 56 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 56

Step 3:
The number 56 fits into 257 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 224 from 257 to get 33.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 335 / 56

On to step 4:
335 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 280 from 335.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 558 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 558 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 459.0
Deduct 504 from 558 and we're left with 54.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 543 / 56

Moving on to step 6:
56 goes into 543 9 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4599.0
If we take 504 away from 543, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 56, we get 6 with a remainder of 54.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4599.6
If we take 336 away from 390, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
56 goes into 540 9 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4599.69
If we subtract 504 from 540, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
56 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4599.696
Subtracting 336 from 360 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.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4599.6964
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4599.69642
Subtract 112 from 160 to 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.

On to step 12:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4599.696428
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up 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 13:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4599.6964285
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4599.69642857
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.

The final outcome is 4599.69642857, with a leftover of 8e-09.
