We're dividing 280960 by 59 
Our goal is to divide 280960 by 59.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 280 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 236 away from 280, we end up with 44.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 449 / 59

Step 4:
The number 59 fits into 449 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 413 away from 449, we end up with 36.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 366 / 59

On to step 5:
366 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 476.0
If we take 354 away from 366, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4762.0
Subtracting 118 from 120 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4762.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 59 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4762.03
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 177 from 200.
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 9:
59 goes into 230 3 times with a remainder of 53.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4762.033
If we subtract 177 from 230, we 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.

The final result is 4762.033 with a remainder of 0.0053.
