We're dividing 494396 by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 494396 can be divided by 59.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
49 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
59 goes into 494 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 472 from 494 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 223 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 223 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 177 from 223.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 469 / 59

Step 5:
469 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 837.0
Subtract 413 from 469 to get 56.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 566 / 59

Step 6:
566 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8379.0
Deduct 531 from 566 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 350 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8379.5
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 295 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
59 can be fit into 550 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8379.59
Subtracting 531 from 550 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
59 goes into 190 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8379.593
Subtracting 177 from 190 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 130 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8379.5932
Subtract 118 from 130 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8379.59322
Subtracting 118 from 120 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8379.59322 with a balance of 2e-06.
