We look at the division of 231588 by 58 
We want to figure out the number of times 231588 can be divided by 58.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 58 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 58

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 58, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 58

On to step 3:
If we divide 231 by 58, we get 3 and a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 174 from 231.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 575 / 58

On to step 4:
When dividing 575 by 58, we get 9 with a remainder of 53.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 522 from 575 leaves us with 53.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 538 / 58

Moving on to step 5:
The number 58 fits into 538 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 399.0
If we subtract 522 from 538, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 58

On to step 6:
168 divided by 58 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3992.0
If we take 116 away from 168, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 520 by 58, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3992.8
If we subtract 464 from 520, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 58 fits into 560 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3992.89
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 522 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
380 divided by 58 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3992.896
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 348 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
320 divided by 58 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3992.8965
Subtract 290 from 320 to 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 11:
58 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3992.89655
Subtracting 290 from 300 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 3992.89655, and the remainder is 1e-05.
