We divide 605996 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 605996.

Advancing to step 1:
59 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 59 from 60.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
59 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
59 goes into 159 2 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 102.0
Deduct 118 from 159 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 419 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
419 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1027.0
Deduct 413 from 419 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 66 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 66 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10271.0
Deduct 59 from 66 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10271.1
If we subtract 59 from 70, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
59 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10271.11
Subtract 59 from 110 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10271.11 with a balance of 0.051.
