We divide 480887 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 480887 can be divided by 59.

Advancing to 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 480 / 59

On to step 3:
59 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 472 from 480 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 59

On to step 4:
If we divide 88 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 59 from 88.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 298 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 815.0
If we take 295 away from 298, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 37 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8150.0
Subtract 0 from 37 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8150.6
Subtracting 354 from 370 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8150.62
If we take 118 away from 160, we end up with 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 9:
420 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8150.627
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 70 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8150.6271
If we take 59 away from 70, we end up with 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 11:
110 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8150.62711
Subtracting 59 from 110 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 8150.62711, and the remainder is 5.1e-05.
