Let's divide 279336 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 279336.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
59 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 59

On to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 279 4 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 236 from 279, we get 43.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 433 / 59

Step 4:
433 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 413 from 433 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 203 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
59 goes into 203 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 473.0
If we subtract 177 from 203, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 59

Going ahead to step 6:
266 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4734.0
If we subtract 236 from 266, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
59 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4734.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 295 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 4734.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
59 can be fit into 500 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4734.508
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 472 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
59 can be fit into 280 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4734.5084
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 11:
59 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4734.50847
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 413 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 270 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4734.508474
Deduct 236 from 270 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
59 can be fit into 340 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4734.5084745
If we subtract 295 from 340, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 59 fits into 450 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4734.50847457
If we subtract 413 from 450, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 4734.50847457, and the remainder is 3.7e-08.
