Let's divide 488885 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 488885 can be divided by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 59

Step 2:
48 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 488 / 59

Step 3:
59 goes into 488 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 472 from 488, we get 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 168 2 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtracting 118 from 168 leaves us with 50.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 508 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 508 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 828.0
Subtract 472 from 508 to get 36.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 365 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 365 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8286.0
Subtract 354 from 365 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8286.1
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 510 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8286.18
Subtract 472 from 510 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 380 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8286.186
If we subtract 354 from 380, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
260 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8286.1864
Deduct 236 from 260 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
59 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8286.18644
Deduct 236 from 240 and we're left with 4.
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 8286.18644 with a remaining 4e-06.
