Let's divide 72517 by 59
We want to divide 72517 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 59

On to step 2:
59 goes into 72 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 59 from 72 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 135 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 135 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 17.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 118 from 135.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 171 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
59 goes into 171 2 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we take 118 away from 171, we end up with 53.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 537 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 537 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1229.0
If we subtract 531 from 537, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 60 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1229.1
Subtract 59 from 60 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1229.1
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Step 8:
The number 59 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1229.101
Subtract 59 from 100 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 9:
59 can be fit into 410 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1229.1016
If we take 354 away from 410, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
59 can be fit into 560 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1229.10169
If we subtract 531 from 560, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
59 can be fit into 290 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1229.101694
Deduct 236 from 290 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 540 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1229.1016949
If we take 531 away from 540, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
59 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1229.10169491
Subtracting 59 from 90 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1229.10169491 with a remaining 3.1e-08.
