231254 ÷ 59 
We want to divide 231254 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 231 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 54.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 177 from 231 leaves us with 54.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 542 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 542 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 531 away from 542, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 115 / 59

Step 5:
If we divide 115 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 56.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 391.0
Deduct 59 from 115 and we're left with 56.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 564 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
564 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3919.0
If we take 531 away from 564, 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.

On to step 7:
59 goes into 330 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3919.5
If we take 295 away from 330, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
59 can be fit into 350 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3919.55
If we take 295 away from 350, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3919.55 and a remainder of 0.055.
