Let's divide 229731 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 229731 can be divided by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
59 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
59 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 229 3 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 177 from 229 to get 52.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 527 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 527 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 55.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we take 472 away from 527, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 553 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
59 can be fit into 553 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 389.0
If we subtract 531 from 553, we get 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 59

On to step 6:
59 goes into 221 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3893.0
If we take 177 away from 221, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
59 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3893.7
Subtracting 413 from 440 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
270 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3893.74
Subtracting 236 from 270 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
340 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3893.745
If we take 295 away from 340, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 450 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3893.7457
Deduct 413 from 450 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 370 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3893.74576
If we subtract 354 from 370, we get 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 12:
When dividing 160 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3893.745762
Deduct 118 from 160 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 420 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3893.7457627
Deduct 413 from 420 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
70 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3893.74576271
Deduct 59 from 70 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 3893.74576271 with a remaining 1.1e-08.
