We divide 508712 by 59
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 508712.

Advancing to step 1:
59 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 59

Step 2:
The number 59 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 508 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 508 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 472 from 508 to get 36.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 367 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 367 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 13.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we subtract 354 from 367, we get 13.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 131 / 59

Step 5:
The number 59 fits into 131 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 862.0
Deduct 118 from 131 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 132 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 132 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8622.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 118 from 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
59 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8622.2
If we subtract 118 from 140, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8622.23
If we take 177 away from 220, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 430 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8622.237
If we subtract 413 from 430, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
59 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8622.2372
If we take 118 away from 170, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 520 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8622.23728
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 472 from 520.
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 12:
The number 59 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8622.237288
Deduct 472 from 480 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8622.237288 with a remaining 8e-07.
