311438 divided by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 311438 can be divided by 59.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 59

On to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 311 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 311 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 295 from 311 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
164 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtract 118 from 164 to get 46.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 463 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 463 7 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 527.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 413 from 463.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 508 / 59

Going ahead to step 6:
59 goes into 508 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5278.0
Subtract 472 from 508 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
59 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5278.6
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 354 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5278.61
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 59 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
59 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5278.61
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
59 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5278.6101
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 11:
59 can be fit into 410 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5278.61016
Deduct 354 from 410 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 560 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5278.610169
Subtracting 531 from 560 leaves us 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 13:
When dividing 290 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5278.6101694
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 236 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
540 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5278.61016949
Subtract 531 from 540 to 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.

The final result is 5278.61016949 with a remainder of 9e-09.
