We look at the division of 497994 by 59 
We want to divide 497994 by 59.

Step 1:
59 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 497 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 497 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 472 from 497, we get 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 59

On to step 4:
59 can be fit into 259 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we subtract 236 from 259, we get 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 59

Step 5:
If we divide 239 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 844.0
Subtracting 236 from 239 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 59

Step 6:
59 can be fit into 34 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8440.0
Deduct 0 from 34 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 340 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8440.5
Subtracting 295 from 340 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 8:
450 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8440.57
Subtract 413 from 450 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 370 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8440.576
Subtract 354 from 370 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
59 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8440.5762
Subtract 118 from 160 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 420 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8440.57627
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 413 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 70 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8440.576271
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 59 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
110 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8440.5762711
Subtract 59 from 110 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8440.5762711 with a balance of 5.1e-07.
