261868 ÷ 59 
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 261868.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 59

On to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
59 can be fit into 261 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 236 away from 261, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 258 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
59 goes into 258 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 236 from 258 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 226 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
226 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 443.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 177 from 226.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 498 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
59 goes into 498 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4438.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 472 from 498.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4438.4
If we subtract 236 from 260, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
59 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4438.44
If we subtract 236 from 240, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 4438.44 with a remainder of 0.004.
