488479 ÷ 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 488479.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
59 goes into 488 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 472 from 488 to get 16.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 164 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 164 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we subtract 118 from 164, we get 46.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 467 / 59

On to step 5:
When dividing 467 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 827.0
If we subtract 413 from 467, we get 54.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 549 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 549 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8279.0
If we take 531 away from 549, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
180 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8279.3
Deduct 177 from 180 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 30 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8279.3
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
300 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8279.305
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8279.305
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
59 can be fit into 500 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8279.30508
Subtract 472 from 500 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 280 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8279.305084
Subtracting 236 from 280 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 440 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8279.3050847
Subtract 413 from 440 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 59 fits into 270 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8279.30508474
If we subtract 236 from 270, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8279.30508474 and a remainder of 3.4e-08.
