We divide 233983 by 59
We want to divide 233983 by 59.

Step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 59

On to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 233 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 233 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 177 from 233 and we're left with 56.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 569 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 goes into 569 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
Deduct 531 from 569 and we're left with 38.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 388 / 59

On to step 5:
388 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 396.0
If we take 354 away from 388, we end up with 34.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 343 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 343 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 48.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3965.0
Subtract 295 from 343 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3965.8
If we subtract 472 from 480, 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 8:
80 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3965.81
If we take 59 away from 80, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3965.813
Subtracting 177 from 210 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 10:
59 goes into 330 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3965.8135
If we subtract 295 from 330, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
350 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3965.81355
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 295 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3965.81355 and a remainder of 5.5e-05.
