Let's divide 498087 by 59
We want to divide 498087 by 59.

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.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 59

On to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 498 / 59

Step 3:
The number 59 fits into 498 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 472 from 498 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
59 can be fit into 260 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we take 236 away from 260, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 248 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 844.0
If we take 236 away from 248, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 59

On to step 6:
59 can be fit into 127 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8442.0
Subtracting 118 from 127 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 7:
90 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8442.1
If we take 59 away from 90, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
310 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8442.15
If we take 295 away from 310, we end up 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.

Step 9:
59 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8442.152
If we subtract 118 from 150, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8442.1525
Deduct 295 from 320 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
59 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8442.15254
Subtract 236 from 250 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 59 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8442.152542
Subtracting 118 from 140 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8442.1525423
Subtract 177 from 220 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 59 fits into 430 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8442.15254237
If we take 413 away from 430, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8442.15254237, with a leftover of 1.7e-08.
