We look at the division of 471458 by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 471458 can be divided by 59.

Step 1:
59 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 471 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 471 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 413 from 471, we get 58.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 584 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 584 9 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtract 531 from 584 to get 53.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 535 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 535 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 799.0
If we subtract 531 from 535, we get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 48 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7990.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7990.8
If we take 472 away from 480, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
59 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7990.81
Subtract 59 from 80 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
59 can be fit into 210 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7990.813
If we subtract 177 from 210, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 59 fits into 330 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7990.8135
Subtracting 295 from 330 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 59 fits into 350 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7990.81355
Subtract 295 from 350 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7990.81355 and a remainder of 5.5e-05.
