We look at the division of 212980 by 59 
Our goal is to divide 212980 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
59 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
212 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 177 from 212, we get 35.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 359 / 59

Step 4:
59 can be fit into 359 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Deduct 354 from 359 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
59 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 360.0
Subtract 0 from 58 to get 58.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 580 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 580 9 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3609.0
If we take 531 away from 580, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 7:
59 goes into 490 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3609.8
Subtract 472 from 490 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
59 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3609.83
Deduct 177 from 180 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 30 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3609.83
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
59 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3609.8305
Deduct 295 from 300 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 59 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3609.8305
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 500 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3609.830508
Subtracting 472 from 500 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 59 fits into 280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3609.8305084
If we take 236 away from 280, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 440 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3609.83050847
If we take 413 away from 440, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The final result is 3609.83050847 with a remainder of 2.7e-08.
