We're dividing 478673 by 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 478673.

Going ahead to step 1:
59 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
59 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 478 / 59

On to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 478 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 472 from 478 to get 6.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 66 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 66 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we take 59 away from 66, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 77 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 811.0
If we take 59 away from 77, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 183 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
59 goes into 183 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8113.0
If we take 177 away from 183, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
59 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8113.1
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 59 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
59 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8113.1
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
100 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8113.101
If we take 59 away from 100, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 410 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8113.1016
Subtract 354 from 410 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8113.10169
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.

Advancing to step 12:
290 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8113.101694
Subtracting 236 from 290 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 540 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8113.1016949
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 531 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
90 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8113.10169491
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.

After the division, we end up with 8113.10169491 and a remainder of 3.1e-08.
