We divide 261906 by 59
We want to divide 261906 by 59.

On to step 1:
59 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
26 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 59

On to step 3:
If we divide 261 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 25.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 236 from 261 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 59

On to step 4:
59 can be fit into 259 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we subtract 236 from 259, we get 23.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 230 / 59

On to step 5:
59 goes into 230 3 times with a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 443.0
Subtracting 177 from 230 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 536 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 536 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4439.0
Deduct 531 from 536 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4439.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4439.08
Subtract 472 from 500 to 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4439.084
Subtracting 236 from 280 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
59 can be fit into 440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4439.0847
Deduct 413 from 440 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
59 goes into 270 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4439.08474
Deduct 236 from 270 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4439.084745
Subtracting 295 from 340 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 59 fits into 450 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4439.0847457
Subtracting 413 from 450 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 59 fits into 370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4439.08474576
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 354 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 4439.08474576 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
