We're dividing 791497 by 59 
We want to divide 791497 by 59.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 59

Step 2:
59 can be fit into 79 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 59 from 79 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 201 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 201 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 177 from 201 to get 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 59

Step 4:
59 goes into 244 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 134.0
If we take 236 away from 244, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
89 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1341.0
Subtract 59 from 89 to get 30.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 307 / 59

On to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 307 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13415.0
If we take 295 away from 307, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
59 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13415.2
Subtracting 118 from 120 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
59 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13415.2
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13415.203
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 177 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
59 goes into 230 3 times with a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13415.2033
Subtracting 177 from 230 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13415.2033 and a remainder of 0.00053.
