146284 ÷ 59 
Our goal is to divide 146284 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
59 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
59 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 146 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 118 from 146, we get 28.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 282 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 can be fit into 282 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 236 from 282, we get 46.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 468 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 468 7 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 247.0
If we subtract 413 from 468, we get 55.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 554 / 59

Step 6:
The number 59 fits into 554 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2479.0
Subtracting 531 from 554 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 230 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2479.3
Subtract 177 from 230 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
530 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2479.38
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 472 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
59 goes into 580 9 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2479.389
Subtracting 531 from 580 leaves us 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 10:
If we divide 490 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2479.3898
If we take 472 away from 490, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2479.38983
Subtract 177 from 180 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 30 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2479.38983
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 300 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2479.3898305
If we take 295 away from 300, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
59 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2479.3898305
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2479.3898305 with a balance of 5e-08.
