We're dividing 148197 by 59 
We want to divide 148197 by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
148 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 118 from 148.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 301 / 59

Step 4:
301 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 295 from 301 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 69 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 251.0
Subtracting 59 from 69 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 107 / 59

Step 6:
The number 59 fits into 107 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2511.0
Subtract 59 from 107 to 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 7:
480 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2511.8
If we subtract 472 from 480, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
59 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2511.81
Deduct 59 from 80 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
59 can be fit into 210 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2511.813
Subtract 177 from 210 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 59 fits into 330 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2511.8135
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 295 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2511.81355
Subtracting 295 from 350 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2511.81355 with a remaining 5.5e-05.
