We look at the division of 298947 by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 298947 can be divided by 59.

Step 1:
The number 59 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 298 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 295 away from 298, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 39 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 394 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
59 goes into 394 6 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 506.0
If we take 354 away from 394, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 407 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 407 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 53.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5066.0
Deduct 354 from 407 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
530 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5066.8
If we subtract 472 from 530, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 580 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5066.89
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 531 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
490 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5066.898
Subtracting 472 from 490 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 180 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5066.8983
Subtracting 177 from 180 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
59 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5066.8983
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
300 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5066.898305
If we take 295 away from 300, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
59 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5066.898305
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 59 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5066.89830508
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 472 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5066.89830508 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
