We look at the division of 229781 by 59 
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 229781.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 59

Step 2:
If we divide 22 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
59 goes into 229 3 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 177 from 229 to get 52.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 527 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
59 goes into 527 8 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 472 from 527 leaves us with 55.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 558 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 558 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 389.0
Deduct 531 from 558 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
59 can be fit into 271 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3894.0
If we take 236 away from 271, we end up 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.

Advancing to 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: 3894.5
If we take 295 away from 350, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 8:
550 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3894.59
If we take 531 away from 550, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
59 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3894.593
If we subtract 177 from 190, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 130 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3894.5932
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 118 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
59 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3894.59322
If we subtract 118 from 120, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3894.59322 with a remaining 2e-06.
