We're dividing 218358 by 59 
We want to divide 218358 by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
59 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 59

Step 2:
21 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 218 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 41.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 177 from 218.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 413 / 59

Step 4:
59 can be fit into 413 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 413 from 413 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 5 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 370.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 59

Going ahead to step 6:
59 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3700.0
Deduct 0 from 58 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 59 fits into 580 9 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3700.9
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 490 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3700.98
Subtract 472 from 490 to get 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 9:
59 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3700.983
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 177 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 30 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3700.983
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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 11:
If we divide 300 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3700.98305
Subtract 295 from 300 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
59 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3700.98305
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 59 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3700.9830508
Subtract 472 from 500 to get 28.
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 14:
When dividing 280 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3700.98305084
If we subtract 236 from 280, we 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.

The final result is 3700.98305084 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
