Let's divide 72904 by 59
Our goal is to divide 72904 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 59

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 59 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 59

On to step 3:
59 goes into 139 2 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 118 from 139 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 210 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
59 can be fit into 210 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123.0
If we take 177 away from 210, we end up with 33.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 334 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 334 5 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1235.0
Subtract 295 from 334 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 390 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1235.6
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 354 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
59 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1235.66
Deduct 354 from 360 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1235.66 and a remainder of 0.006.
