We're dividing 139729 by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 139729 can be divided by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
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: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 13 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
59 goes into 139 2 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 118 from 139 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 217 3 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 177 from 217, we get 40.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 402 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 402 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 354 from 402.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
489 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2368.0
Deduct 472 from 489 and we're left with 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 7:
170 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2368.2
If we subtract 118 from 170, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
520 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2368.28
Subtracting 472 from 520 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
480 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2368.288
Deduct 472 from 480 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2368.288 with a remaining 0.0008.
