We divide 172019 by 59
Our goal is to divide 172019 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
59 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 59

Step 3:
The number 59 fits into 172 2 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 118 away from 172, we end up with 54.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 540 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 540 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 531 from 540 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
59 goes into 91 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 291.0
If we take 59 away from 91, we end up with 32.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 329 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 329 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2915.0
If we subtract 295 from 329, we 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 340 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2915.5
If we take 295 away from 340, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 8:
59 goes into 450 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2915.57
Subtracting 413 from 450 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 370 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2915.576
Subtracting 354 from 370 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2915.5762
Deduct 118 from 160 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
59 goes into 420 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2915.57627
Subtract 413 from 420 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 12:
59 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2915.576271
If we subtract 59 from 70, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 110 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2915.5762711
Deduct 59 from 110 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2915.5762711 and a remainder of 5.1e-07.
