Let's divide 486872 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 486872.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 59

Step 2:
59 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 486 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 486 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 472 away from 486, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 59

On to step 4:
If we divide 148 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtracting 118 from 148 leaves us with 30.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 307 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
59 goes into 307 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 825.0
If we take 295 away from 307, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 59

On to step 6:
If we divide 122 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8252.0
If we subtract 118 from 122, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
59 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8252.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8252.06
If we subtract 354 from 400, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 460 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8252.067
If we subtract 413 from 460, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
59 goes into 470 7 times with a remainder of 57.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8252.0677
If we take 413 away from 470, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8252.0677 and a remainder of 0.00057.
