We're dividing 490087 by 59 
We want to divide 490087 by 59.

On to step 1:
59 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 490 / 59

On to step 3:
59 goes into 490 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 472 from 490, we get 18.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 180 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtract 177 from 180 to get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
38 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 830.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 387 / 59

Going ahead to step 6:
59 goes into 387 6 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8306.0
If we subtract 354 from 387, 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.

Step 7:
The number 59 fits into 330 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8306.5
Deduct 295 from 330 and we're left 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 8:
The number 59 fits into 350 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8306.55
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8306.55 with a balance of 0.055.
