263998 ÷ 59 
We want to divide 263998 by 59.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 59

On to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 263 / 59

On to step 3:
59 can be fit into 263 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 236 from 263 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 can be fit into 279 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 236 from 279.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 439 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 439 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 447.0
Deduct 413 from 439 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 268 / 59

Step 6:
59 goes into 268 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4474.0
Subtract 236 from 268 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4474.5
If we subtract 295 from 320, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
59 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4474.54
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 236 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4474.542
If we take 118 away from 140, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
59 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4474.5423
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 177 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 11:
430 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4474.54237
Subtract 413 from 430 to 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.

Step 12:
The number 59 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4474.542372
Subtracting 118 from 170 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
520 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4474.5423728
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 480 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4474.54237288
If we take 472 away from 480, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4474.54237288 with a balance of 8e-09.
