Let's divide 724870 by 59
Our goal is to divide 724870 by 59.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 59 from 72 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 134 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 134 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 118 away from 134, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 168 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 122.0
Deduct 118 from 168 and we're left with 50.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 507 / 59

Step 5:
59 can be fit into 507 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1228.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 472 from 507.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 350 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
59 goes into 350 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12285.0
Subtracting 295 from 350 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
59 can be fit into 550 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12285.9
Subtract 531 from 550 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
59 goes into 190 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12285.93
Subtract 177 from 190 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12285.932
If we subtract 118 from 130, 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
59 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12285.9322
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 118 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 12285.9322 with a remainder of 2e-05.
