542685 ÷ 59 
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 542685.

Going ahead to step 1:
59 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 59

Step 2:
When dividing 54 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 54 leaves us with 54.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 542 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
59 goes into 542 9 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 531 away from 542, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 59

Step 4:
116 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 57.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 91.0
If we subtract 59 from 116, we get 57.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 578 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
59 can be fit into 578 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 919.0
Deduct 531 from 578 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 475 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
59 can be fit into 475 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9198.0
If we take 472 away from 475, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 7:
30 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9198.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9198.05
If we subtract 295 from 300, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
59 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9198.05
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 500 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9198.0508
If we subtract 472 from 500, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
59 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9198.05084
Deduct 236 from 280 and we're left 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 12:
59 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9198.050847
If we subtract 413 from 440, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
270 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9198.0508474
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 236 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 340 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9198.05084745
Subtract 295 from 340 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

The final result is 9198.05084745 with a remainder of 4.5e-08.
