720988 ÷ 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 720988.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 59

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 59 from 72 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 130 / 59

Step 3:
If we divide 130 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 118 from 130 to get 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
129 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 122.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 118 from 129.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 118 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1222.0
Deduct 118 from 118 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
59 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12220.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to 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 7:
When dividing 80 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12220.1
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 59 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 210 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12220.13
If we take 177 away from 210, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
59 goes into 330 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12220.135
Subtract 295 from 330 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 59 fits into 350 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12220.1355
Subtract 295 from 350 to get 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 12220.1355 with a remaining 0.00055.
