We look at the division of 724540 by 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 724540.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 59

Step 2:
59 goes into 72 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 59 from 72 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 134 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 118 from 134.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 165 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 can be fit into 165 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtracting 118 from 165 leaves us with 47.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 474 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 474 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1228.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 472 from 474.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 20 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12280.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
200 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12280.3
Subtract 177 from 200 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 230 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12280.33
Deduct 177 from 230 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

The final result is 12280.33 with a remainder of 0.053.
