We divide 240501 by 59
We want to divide 240501 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 59

Step 2:
The number 59 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 240 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 236 from 240, we get 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 45 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 45 to get 45.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 450 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 450 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 407.0
If we subtract 413 from 450, we get 37.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 371 / 59

Going ahead to step 6:
371 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 17.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4076.0
If we subtract 354 from 371, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
59 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4076.2
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 118 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
59 goes into 520 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4076.28
Subtracting 472 from 520 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
59 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4076.288
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 472 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4076.288, and the remainder is 0.0008.
