42599 ÷ 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 42599 can be divided by 59.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 59

Step 2:
42 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 425 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
425 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 413 away from 425, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 129 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 118 from 129 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 119 / 59

Step 5:
59 can be fit into 119 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 722.0
If we take 118 away from 119, we end up with 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 6:
The number 59 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 722.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
59 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 722.01
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 410 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 722.016
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 354 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
59 can be fit into 560 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 722.0169
If we take 531 away from 560, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 290 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 722.01694
Deduct 236 from 290 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 540 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 722.016949
If we take 531 away from 540, we end up 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.

Step 12:
90 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 722.0169491
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 59 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
59 can be fit into 310 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 722.01694915
If we take 295 away from 310, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 722.01694915 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
