We're dividing 187040 by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 187040 can be divided by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 59

Step 2:
59 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 59

Step 3:
When dividing 187 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 177 from 187 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 100 / 59

Step 4:
The number 59 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 59 from 100 to get 41.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 414 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 414 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 317.0
If we take 413 away from 414, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 10 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3170.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3170.1
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 59 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 410 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3170.16
Subtracting 354 from 410 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
560 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3170.169
Deduct 531 from 560 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
59 goes into 290 4 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3170.1694
If we subtract 236 from 290, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
59 can be fit into 540 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3170.16949
If we subtract 531 from 540, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 59 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3170.169491
Deduct 59 from 90 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
59 goes into 310 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3170.1694915
If we take 295 away from 310, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 150 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3170.16949152
Subtract 118 from 150 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3170.16949152 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
