We divide 242762 by 59
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 242762.

Step 1:
59 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
59 goes into 242 4 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 236 from 242 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
59 can be fit into 67 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtracting 59 from 67 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 59

On to step 5:
If we divide 86 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 411.0
Subtracting 59 from 86 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
59 goes into 272 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4114.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 236 from 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 360 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4114.6
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 354 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4114.61
Subtract 59 from 60 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
10 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4114.61
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
59 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4114.6101
If we subtract 59 from 100, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
59 can be fit into 410 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4114.61016
If we subtract 354 from 410, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
59 goes into 560 9 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4114.610169
If we take 531 away from 560, we end up 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.

Step 13:
290 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4114.6101694
If we subtract 236 from 290, we 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.

Moving on to step 14:
59 goes into 540 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4114.61016949
If we subtract 531 from 540, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4114.61016949, with a leftover of 9e-09.
