255279 divided by 59 
We want to divide 255279 by 59.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 59

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.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 255 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 236 from 255.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 192 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 192 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 177 from 192, we get 15.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 59

Step 5:
157 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 39.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 432.0
Deduct 118 from 157 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 399 / 59

Step 6:
59 can be fit into 399 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4326.0
Subtract 354 from 399 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
59 can be fit into 450 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4326.7
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 413 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 59 fits into 370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4326.76
Subtracting 354 from 370 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4326.762
If we subtract 118 from 160, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 420 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4326.7627
Deduct 413 from 420 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
70 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4326.76271
Subtracting 59 from 70 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 110 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4326.762711
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 59 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4326.762711 with a remaining 5.1e-06.
