Let's divide 50885 by 59
We want to divide 50885 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 508 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 508 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 472 away from 508, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 368 / 59

On to step 4:
When dividing 368 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtracting 354 from 368 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 145 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 27.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 862.0
If we subtract 118 from 145, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 270 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 862.4
Subtract 236 from 270 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
59 goes into 340 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 862.45
Deduct 295 from 340 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
59 can be fit into 450 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 862.457
Subtracting 413 from 450 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
370 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 862.4576
Subtract 354 from 370 to 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.

Step 10:
The number 59 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 862.45762
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 118 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 862.457627
Subtracting 413 from 420 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 59 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 862.4576271
Deduct 59 from 70 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
The number 59 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 862.45762711
If we subtract 59 from 110, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 862.45762711 and a remainder of 5.1e-08.
