256699 ÷ 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 256699.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 256 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 256 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 224 away from 256, we end up with 32.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 326 / 56

Let's proceed to step 4:
326 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtract 280 from 326 to get 46.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 469 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
56 goes into 469 8 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 458.0
Subtracting 448 from 469 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 56

Step 6:
219 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4583.0
If we subtract 168 from 219, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 510 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4583.9
Subtracting 504 from 510 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 56, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4583.91
If we subtract 56 from 60, we get 4.
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 9:
56 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4583.91
Deduct 0 from 40 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4583.9107
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4583.91071
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4583.910714
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 13:
56 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4583.9107142
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4583.91071428
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4583.91071428 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
