We divide 276931 by 59
We want to divide 276931 by 59.

On to step 1:
59 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
59 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 276 / 59

On to step 3:
276 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 236 from 276.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
59 can be fit into 409 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
Deduct 354 from 409 and we're left with 55.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 553 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 553 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 469.0
If we take 531 away from 553, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 221 / 59

Step 6:
59 goes into 221 3 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4693.0
If we take 177 away from 221, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
440 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4693.7
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 413 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
270 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4693.74
Subtract 236 from 270 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 9:
340 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4693.745
Subtracting 295 from 340 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
59 can be fit into 450 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4693.7457
If we subtract 413 from 450, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
59 can be fit into 370 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4693.74576
If we subtract 354 from 370, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
59 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4693.745762
If we subtract 118 from 160, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
420 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4693.7457627
Deduct 413 from 420 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 14:
70 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4693.74576271
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 59 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4693.74576271 with a remaining 1.1e-08.
