We divide 12981308 by 59
Our goal is to divide 12981308 by 59.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 59

Step 2:
59 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 59

On to step 3:
59 can be fit into 129 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 118 from 129, we get 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 118 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 118 from 118 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
59 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 220.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 59

Step 6:
59 goes into 13 0 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2200.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 130 / 59

Step 7:
59 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22002.0
Deduct 118 from 130 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 59

Advancing to step 8:
128 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 220022.0
Subtract 118 from 128 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
100 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 220022.1
If we subtract 59 from 100, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 10:
410 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 220022.16
If we take 354 away from 410, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 220022.169
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 531 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
290 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 220022.1694
If we subtract 236 from 290, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 59 fits into 540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 220022.16949
Deduct 531 from 540 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
59 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 220022.169491
Subtracting 59 from 90 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 310 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 220022.1694915
Subtracting 295 from 310 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 16:
59 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 220022.16949152
If we take 118 away from 150, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 220022.16949152 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
