Let's divide 28731 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 28731.

Step 1:
59 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
59 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 59

Step 3:
When dividing 287 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 236 from 287.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 513 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 513 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 472 from 513 leaves us with 41.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 411 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
59 can be fit into 411 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 486.0
Deduct 354 from 411 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.

Moving on to step 6:
570 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 39.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 486.9
Subtracting 531 from 570 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 390 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 486.96
If we subtract 354 from 390, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 486.966
Subtracting 354 from 360 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 486.966 with a remaining 0.0006.
