We look at the division of 228971 by 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 228971.

Step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
59 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 228 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
59 can be fit into 228 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 177 away from 228, we end up with 51.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 519 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 519 8 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 472 from 519, we get 47.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 477 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 477 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 388.0
If we subtract 472 from 477, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 51 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3880.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
59 can be fit into 510 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3880.8
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 472 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
59 can be fit into 380 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3880.86
Subtract 354 from 380 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 260 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3880.864
If we take 236 away from 260, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 59 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3880.8644
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 236 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3880.8644 with a remaining 4e-05.
