We divide 287049 by 59
Our goal is to divide 287049 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 59

On to step 2:
59 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
287 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 236 from 287 and we're left with 51.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 510 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 510 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 472 from 510 and we're left with 38.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 384 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
59 goes into 384 6 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 486.0
Deduct 354 from 384 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 309 / 59

On to step 6:
When dividing 309 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4865.0
If we take 295 away from 309, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
59 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4865.2
Subtract 118 from 140 to 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.

Step 8:
59 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4865.23
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 430 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4865.237
If we take 413 away from 430, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 170 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4865.2372
Subtract 118 from 170 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 520 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4865.23728
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:
If we divide 480 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4865.237288
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.

After the division, we end up with 4865.237288 and a remainder of 8e-07.
