Let's divide 15717 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 15717.

Step 1:
The number 59 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 157 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 118 from 157 to get 39.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 391 / 59

On to step 4:
When dividing 391 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 37.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 354 from 391, we get 37.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 377 / 59

Step 5:
When dividing 377 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 23.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 266.0
If we take 354 away from 377, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
59 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 266.3
If we take 177 away from 230, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 530 8 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 266.38
If we take 472 away from 530, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 580 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 266.389
If we subtract 531 from 580, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 490 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 266.3898
Subtract 472 from 490 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 59 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 266.38983
If we subtract 177 from 180, we 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 30 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 266.38983
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 12:
59 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 266.3898305
Subtracting 295 from 300 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
50 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 266.3898305
Subtract 0 from 50 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 266.3898305 with a balance of 5e-08.
