214588 ÷ 59 
We want to divide 214588 by 59.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
59 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
59 can be fit into 214 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 177 from 214, we get 37.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 375 / 59

Step 4:
When dividing 375 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 354 from 375.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 218 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 363.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 177 from 218.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 418 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
59 goes into 418 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3637.0
Deduct 413 from 418 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:
If we divide 50 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3637.0
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.

On to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3637.08
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.

Moving on to step 9:
59 can be fit into 280 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3637.084
Deduct 236 from 280 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
59 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3637.0847
If we subtract 413 from 440, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
59 can be fit into 270 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3637.08474
Subtract 236 from 270 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
59 can be fit into 340 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3637.084745
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 450 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3637.0847457
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.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3637.08474576
If we subtract 354 from 370, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3637.08474576 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
