488762 divided by 59 
Our goal is to divide 488762 by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
59 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 488 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
59 goes into 488 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 472 from 488, we get 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 167 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
59 goes into 167 2 times with a remainder of 49.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 118 from 167 to get 49.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 496 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 496 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 828.0
Subtracting 472 from 496 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 59

On to step 6:
If we divide 242 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8284.0
If we take 236 away from 242, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
60 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8284.1
Deduct 59 from 60 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 10 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8284.1
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8284.101
If we take 59 away from 100, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 410 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8284.1016
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 354 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 560 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8284.10169
Subtract 531 from 560 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 290 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8284.101694
Subtracting 236 from 290 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
59 goes into 540 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8284.1016949
Subtracting 531 from 540 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 59 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8284.10169491
Subtracting 59 from 90 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8284.10169491, and the remainder is 3.1e-08.
