Let's divide 254617 by 58
We want to divide 254617 by 58.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 58, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 58

Step 2:
If we divide 25 by 58, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 58

Step 3:
58 can be fit into 254 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 232 from 254.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 226 / 58

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 226 by 58, we get 3 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 174 away from 226, we end up with 52.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 521 / 58

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 521 by 58, we get 8 with a remainder of 57.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 438.0
Subtracting 464 from 521 leaves us with 57.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 577 / 58

Moving on to step 6:
58 can be fit into 577 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4389.0
If we take 522 away from 577, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
58 can be fit into 550 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4389.9
Subtracting 522 from 550 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 58, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4389.94
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 232 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
58 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4389.948
Subtract 464 from 480 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
58 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4389.9482
If we take 116 away from 160, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 58, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4389.94827
Subtracting 406 from 440 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
58 goes into 340 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4389.948275
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 290 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 500 by 58, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4389.9482758
If we subtract 464 from 500, we get 36.
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 14:
58 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4389.94827586
If we subtract 348 from 360, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4389.94827586 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
