49471 ÷ 59 
We want to divide 49471 by 59.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 494 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 472 from 494.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 227 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 goes into 227 3 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we subtract 177 from 227, we get 50.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 501 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
59 can be fit into 501 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 838.0
Subtracting 472 from 501 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 290 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 838.4
Subtract 236 from 290 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 540 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 838.49
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 531 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 838.491
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 59 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 838.4915
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 295 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 150 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 838.49152
If we take 118 away from 150, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 838.491525
Subtract 295 from 320 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
250 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 838.4915254
If we subtract 236 from 250, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 838.49152542
Subtracting 118 from 140 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 838.49152542 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
