We're dividing 688739 by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 688739 can be divided by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 59

Step 2:
If we divide 68 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 59 from 68.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
59 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 59 from 98, we get 39.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 397 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 397 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 43.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 116.0
Subtracting 354 from 397 leaves us with 43.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 433 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 433 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1167.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 413 from 433.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 209 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 209 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11673.0
Subtract 177 from 209 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
320 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11673.5
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 250 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11673.54
Subtracting 236 from 250 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11673.542
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 118 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
220 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11673.5423
If we take 177 away from 220, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 59 fits into 430 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11673.54237
Deduct 413 from 430 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 170 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11673.542372
Subtracting 118 from 170 leaves us with 52.
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 13:
If we divide 520 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11673.5423728
If we subtract 472 from 520, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 480 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11673.54237288
If we subtract 472 from 480, we get 8.
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 11673.54237288, and the remainder is 8e-09.
