252172 ÷ 59 
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 252172.

Moving on to step 1:
59 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 59

On to step 2:
25 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 252 / 59

On to step 3:
If we divide 252 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 236 from 252.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
59 goes into 161 2 times with a remainder of 43.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 118 from 161 leaves us with 43.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 437 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 437 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 427.0
If we take 413 away from 437, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 59

On to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 242 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4274.0
Subtract 236 from 242 to 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.

Step 7:
The number 59 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4274.1
Subtract 59 from 60 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
10 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4274.1
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
59 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4274.101
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 410 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4274.1016
If we take 354 away from 410, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
59 can be fit into 560 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4274.10169
Subtract 531 from 560 to get 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 12:
59 goes into 290 4 times with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4274.101694
If we take 236 away from 290, we end up with 54.
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 13:
540 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4274.1016949
Subtracting 531 from 540 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 90 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4274.10169491
Subtracting 59 from 90 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4274.10169491 and a remainder of 3.1e-08.
