We divide 268478 by 58
Our goal is to divide 268478 by 58.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 58, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 58

On to step 2:
The number 58 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 268 / 58

Step 3:
When dividing 268 by 58, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 232 from 268 to get 36.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 364 / 58

Moving on to step 4:
364 divided by 58 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtract 348 from 364 to get 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 58

Moving on to step 5:
58 goes into 167 2 times with a remainder of 51.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 462.0
Subtracting 116 from 167 leaves us with 51.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 58

Step 6:
518 divided by 58 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4628.0
Subtract 464 from 518 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 7:
58 can be fit into 540 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4628.9
Subtract 522 from 540 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.

Step 8:
180 divided by 58 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4628.93
Deduct 174 from 180 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 58, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4628.931
Subtracting 58 from 60 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
58 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4628.931
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 58 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4628.93103
Subtract 174 from 200 to get 26.
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 12:
The number 58 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4628.931034
Subtracting 232 from 260 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
58 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4628.9310344
Subtracting 232 from 280 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.

After the division, we end up with 4628.9310344 and a remainder of 4.8e-07.
