We divide 298727 by 59
Our goal is to divide 298727 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
59 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 59

Let's proceed 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
Subtracting 295 from 298 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
59 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 372 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
59 can be fit into 372 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 506.0
Subtract 354 from 372 to get 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 187 3 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5063.0
If we take 177 away from 187, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
59 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5063.1
Deduct 59 from 100 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 410 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5063.16
If we subtract 354 from 410, we get 56.
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:
If we divide 560 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5063.169
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 531 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 10:
59 goes into 290 4 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5063.1694
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.

Step 11:
59 can be fit into 540 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5063.16949
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 531 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 90 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5063.169491
Subtract 59 from 90 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 13:
310 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5063.1694915
If we subtract 295 from 310, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 150 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5063.16949152
Subtracting 118 from 150 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5063.16949152 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
