Let's divide 249872 by 59
We want to divide 249872 by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
24 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
59 can be fit into 249 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 236 from 249 to get 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 138 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 118 from 138 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
207 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 423.0
Subtract 177 from 207 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 302 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
302 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4235.0
If we take 295 away from 302, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4235.1
Subtract 59 from 70 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4235.11
Subtracting 59 from 110 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The final result is 4235.11 with a remainder of 0.051.
