Let's divide 398508 by 59
We want to divide 398508 by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
59 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
39 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 39.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 398 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 398 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 354 from 398 leaves us with 44.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 445 / 59

Step 4:
If we divide 445 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we subtract 413 from 445, we get 32.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 320 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
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: 675.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 295 from 320.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 258 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 258 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6754.0
Subtract 236 from 258 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
220 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6754.3
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.

Moving on to step 8:
59 goes into 430 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6754.37
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 170 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6754.372
Subtracting 118 from 170 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 59 fits into 520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6754.3728
If we subtract 472 from 520, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6754.37288
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 472 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6754.37288 with a balance of 8e-06.
