We divide 260879 by 59
We want to divide 260879 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 59

Step 3:
59 goes into 260 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 236 from 260 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 248 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 236 from 248 to get 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 59

Step 5:
When dividing 127 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 442.0
Deduct 118 from 127 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
59 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4421.0
Deduct 59 from 99 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 400 6 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4421.6
If we take 354 away from 400, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4421.67
Subtracting 413 from 460 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 470 7 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4421.677
Deduct 413 from 470 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4421.677 with a balance of 0.0057.
