Let's divide 254456 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 254456.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
25 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 254 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
254 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 236 from 254.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 184 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 177 from 184.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 75 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 431.0
Subtract 59 from 75 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
59 goes into 166 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4312.0
Deduct 118 from 166 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 480 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4312.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
80 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4312.81
Subtracting 59 from 80 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
59 can be fit into 210 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4312.813
If we subtract 177 from 210, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 330 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4312.8135
Subtract 295 from 330 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 11:
59 can be fit into 350 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4312.81355
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 295 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4312.81355 and a remainder of 5.5e-05.
