We look at the division of 259972 by 58 
We want to divide 259972 by 58.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 58, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 58

Step 2:
58 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 58

On to step 3:
The number 58 fits into 259 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 232 from 259 and we're left with 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 58

Step 4:
The number 58 fits into 279 4 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 232 from 279 to get 47.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 477 / 58

Step 5:
58 goes into 477 8 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 448.0
Deduct 464 from 477 and we're left with 13.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 132 / 58

Going ahead to step 6:
58 can be fit into 132 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4482.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 116 from 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 58, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4482.2
Subtract 116 from 160 to get 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 8:
The number 58 fits into 440 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4482.27
Subtract 406 from 440 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 58, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4482.275
If we subtract 290 from 340, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 58 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4482.2758
If we subtract 464 from 500, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 58 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4482.27586
If we subtract 348 from 360, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
58 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4482.275862
Deduct 116 from 120 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 58, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4482.275862
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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 14:
58 can be fit into 400 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4482.27586206
Subtracting 348 from 400 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4482.27586206 with a remaining 5.2e-08.
