We divide 125542 by 59
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 125542.

Going ahead to step 1:
59 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
59 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 125 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
125 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 118 from 125 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 75 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 can be fit into 75 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 59 from 75.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 59

Step 5:
The number 59 fits into 164 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 212.0
Deduct 118 from 164 and we're left with 46.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 462 / 59

Step 6:
If we divide 462 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2127.0
Subtracting 413 from 462 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
59 can be fit into 490 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2127.8
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 8:
59 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2127.83
If we subtract 177 from 180, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2127.83
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
300 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2127.8305
Subtract 295 from 300 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 50 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2127.8305
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
59 goes into 500 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2127.830508
Subtracting 472 from 500 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
59 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2127.8305084
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 236 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 14:
59 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2127.83050847
If we take 413 away from 440, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2127.83050847 with a remaining 2.7e-08.
