We divide 488989 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 488989.

Let's proceed to step 1:
59 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 59

On to step 2:
48 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
59 goes into 488 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 472 away from 488, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 169 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we subtract 118 from 169, we get 51.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 518 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 518 8 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 828.0
If we subtract 472 from 518, we get 46.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 469 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 469 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8287.0
If we take 413 away from 469, we end up with 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 7:
59 goes into 560 9 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8287.9
Deduct 531 from 560 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
59 can be fit into 290 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8287.94
If we take 236 away from 290, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
59 goes into 540 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8287.949
Subtracting 531 from 540 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
59 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8287.9491
Subtracting 59 from 90 leaves us with 31.
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 11:
310 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8287.94915
Subtracting 295 from 310 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8287.949152
Deduct 118 from 150 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
59 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8287.9491525
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 250 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8287.94915254
Deduct 236 from 250 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 8287.94915254, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
