Let's divide 123217 by 59
Our goal is to divide 123217 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
59 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 123 / 59

Step 3:
When dividing 123 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 118 from 123.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 59

Step 4:
When dividing 52 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 52 and we're left with 52.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 521 / 59

Step 5:
When dividing 521 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 49.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 208.0
If we subtract 472 from 521, we get 49.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 497 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 497 8 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2088.0
Subtracting 472 from 497 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2088.4
Subtracting 236 from 250 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2088.42
Subtract 118 from 140 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 220 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 43.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2088.423
If we subtract 177 from 220, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
59 can be fit into 430 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2088.4237
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 413 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
59 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2088.42372
Deduct 118 from 170 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 520 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2088.423728
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 472 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
59 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2088.4237288
Subtracting 472 from 480 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2088.4237288 and a remainder of 8e-08.
