Let's divide 229957 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 229957 can be divided by 59.

On to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
59 can be fit into 229 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 177 away from 229, we end up with 52.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 529 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
59 can be fit into 529 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 472 from 529.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 575 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
575 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 389.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 531 from 575.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 447 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
59 can be fit into 447 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3897.0
If we subtract 413 from 447, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
59 goes into 340 5 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3897.5
If we take 295 away from 340, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 450 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3897.57
Deduct 413 from 450 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 370 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3897.576
If we take 354 away from 370, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 160 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3897.5762
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 118 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3897.57627
Deduct 413 from 420 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
59 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3897.576271
Subtracting 59 from 70 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
59 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3897.5762711
If we take 59 away from 110, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3897.5762711, with a leftover of 5.1e-07.
