We look at the division of 248989 by 59 
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 248989.

Going ahead to step 1:
59 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
24 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 248 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 236 from 248 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 59

On to step 4:
59 can be fit into 129 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 118 from 129 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
118 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 422.0
If we subtract 118 from 118, we get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 9 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4220.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
59 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4220.1
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
310 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4220.15
Subtracting 295 from 310 leaves us with 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 9:
59 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4220.152
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4220.1525
If we take 295 away from 320, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 250 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4220.15254
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 236 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 140 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4220.152542
Subtract 118 from 140 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 59 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4220.1525423
Subtracting 177 from 220 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 59 fits into 430 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4220.15254237
If we take 413 away from 430, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4220.15254237, and the remainder is 1.7e-08.
