298840 divided by 59 
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 298840.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 59

On to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 298 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 298 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 295 away from 298, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
38 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 384 / 59

On to step 5:
59 goes into 384 6 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 506.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 354 from 384.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 300 / 59

Step 6:
When dividing 300 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5065.0
Deduct 295 from 300 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5065.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
59 can be fit into 500 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5065.08
If we subtract 472 from 500, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5065.084
Deduct 236 from 280 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 440 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5065.0847
Deduct 413 from 440 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
59 can be fit into 270 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5065.08474
If we take 236 away from 270, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
59 can be fit into 340 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5065.084745
Subtract 295 from 340 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 59 fits into 450 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5065.0847457
Subtract 413 from 450 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
59 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5065.08474576
If we subtract 354 from 370, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5065.08474576 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
