Let's divide 474897 by 59
We want to divide 474897 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
59 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 474 / 59

Step 3:
If we divide 474 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 472 from 474 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 80.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 289 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
289 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 53.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 804.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 236 from 289.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 537 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
59 goes into 537 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8049.0
If we subtract 531 from 537, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8049.1
If we subtract 59 from 60, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8049.1
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 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:
100 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8049.101
If we subtract 59 from 100, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 410 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8049.1016
Subtracting 354 from 410 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
560 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8049.10169
Deduct 531 from 560 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
290 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8049.101694
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
59 goes into 540 9 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8049.1016949
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:
59 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8049.10169491
If we take 59 away from 90, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 8049.10169491, with a leftover of 3.1e-08.
