We divide 128542 by 59
We want to divide 128542 by 59.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 59

On to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 128 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 118 from 128 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 105 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 105 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 59 away from 105, we end up with 46.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 464 / 59

Step 5:
59 can be fit into 464 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217.0
Subtracting 413 from 464 leaves us with 51.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 512 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 512 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2178.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 472 from 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
400 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 46.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2178.6
Deduct 354 from 400 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 460 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2178.67
Subtract 413 from 460 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
470 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 57.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2178.677
Subtract 413 from 470 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2178.677 with a remaining 0.0057.
