We're dividing 499903 by 59 
We want to divide 499903 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 59

Step 2:
If we divide 49 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 499 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
59 can be fit into 499 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 472 from 499, we get 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
59 goes into 279 4 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
Deduct 236 from 279 and we're left with 43.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 430 / 59

Step 5:
If we divide 430 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 847.0
Deduct 413 from 430 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
59 can be fit into 173 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8472.0
If we subtract 118 from 173, we 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.

On to step 7:
59 can be fit into 550 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8472.9
Subtracting 531 from 550 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 190 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8472.93
Subtract 177 from 190 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
59 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8472.932
Subtracting 118 from 130 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8472.9322
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 118 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 8472.9322 with a remainder of 2e-05.
