We're dividing 204871 by 59 
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 204871.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with 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 (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 204 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 177 away from 204, we end up with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 278 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 236 from 278 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 427 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 427 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 347.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 413 from 427.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 141 / 59

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 141 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3472.0
Subtract 118 from 141 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
230 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3472.3
If we subtract 177 from 230, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 530 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3472.38
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 472 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 580 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 49.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3472.389
Deduct 531 from 580 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 490 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3472.3898
If we take 472 away from 490, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
59 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3472.38983
Subtract 177 from 180 to 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.

Moving on to step 12:
30 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3472.38983
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
59 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3472.3898305
If we take 295 away from 300, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
59 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3472.3898305
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3472.3898305, and the remainder is 5e-08.
