We're dividing 17442 by 59 
We want to divide 17442 by 59.

On to step 1:
59 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 59

Step 2:
59 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
174 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 118 from 174, we get 56.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 564 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 564 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 531 from 564 and we're left with 33.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 332 / 59

On to step 5:
If we divide 332 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 37.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 295.0
Subtracting 295 from 332 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
59 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 295.6
If we take 354 away from 370, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
59 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 295.62
Subtract 118 from 160 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 420 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 295.627
Subtracting 413 from 420 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
70 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 295.6271
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 59 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
59 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 295.62711
If we take 59 away from 110, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Our division results in 295.62711 with a remaining 5.1e-05.
