We're dividing 232862 by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 232862 can be divided by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
23 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 232 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 232 3 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 177 away from 232, we end up with 55.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 558 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
558 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Deduct 531 from 558 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 276 / 59

On to step 5:
59 can be fit into 276 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 394.0
If we take 236 away from 276, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 402 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 402 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3946.0
Subtracting 354 from 402 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
480 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3946.8
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 472 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3946.81
Deduct 59 from 80 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 210 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3946.813
If we subtract 177 from 210, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 330 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3946.8135
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 295 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 350 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3946.81355
Subtract 295 from 350 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3946.81355 with a remaining 5.5e-05.
