We divide 494831 by 59
We want to divide 494831 by 59.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 494 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
494 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 472 away from 494, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 228 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
59 goes into 228 3 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we take 177 away from 228, we end up with 51.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 513 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 513 8 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 838.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 472 from 513.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 411 / 59

On to step 6:
411 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 57.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8386.0
Deduct 354 from 411 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 570 9 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8386.9
If we subtract 531 from 570, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 390 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8386.96
Deduct 354 from 390 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8386.966
If we subtract 354 from 360, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8386.966, and the remainder is 0.0006.
