We divide 142558 by 59
We want to divide 142558 by 59.

Step 1:
1 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 142 / 59

On to step 3:
When dividing 142 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 118 from 142, we get 24.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 245 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
245 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 9.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 236 from 245.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 95 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 241.0
If we subtract 59 from 95, we get 36.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 368 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
368 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2416.0
Subtract 354 from 368 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
140 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2416.2
If we take 118 away from 140, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
59 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2416.23
Deduct 177 from 220 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
59 can be fit into 430 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2416.237
Subtract 413 from 430 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 59 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2416.2372
Deduct 118 from 170 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 59 fits into 520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2416.23728
Subtract 472 from 520 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 59 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2416.237288
Subtract 472 from 480 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 2416.237288 with a remainder of 8e-07.
