488904 ÷ 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 488904.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 59

On to step 2:
59 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 488 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
488 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 472 from 488, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 169 2 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
Deduct 118 from 169 and we're left with 51.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 510 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
59 can be fit into 510 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 828.0
If we take 472 away from 510, we end up with 38.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 384 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 384 6 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8286.0
If we subtract 354 from 384, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
59 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8286.5
Deduct 295 from 300 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
59 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8286.5
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8286.508
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 472 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
59 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8286.5084
Subtract 236 from 280 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
59 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8286.50847
If we subtract 413 from 440, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
59 can be fit into 270 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8286.508474
Subtract 236 from 270 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
59 can be fit into 340 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8286.5084745
If we subtract 295 from 340, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 450 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8286.50847457
Subtracting 413 from 450 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8286.50847457 and a remainder of 3.7e-08.
