Let's divide 712257 by 59
We want to divide 712257 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
59 goes into 71 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 59 from 71 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 59

On to step 3:
59 goes into 122 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 118 from 122.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 42 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 425 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
59 goes into 425 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1207.0
Subtracting 413 from 425 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
59 can be fit into 127 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12072.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 118 from 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
90 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12072.1
Deduct 59 from 90 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 310 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12072.15
Subtracting 295 from 310 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
150 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12072.152
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 118 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
59 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12072.1525
If we take 295 away from 320, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
59 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12072.15254
If we take 236 away from 250, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 59 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12072.152542
Subtract 118 from 140 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
59 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12072.1525423
Subtracting 177 from 220 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 14:
59 can be fit into 430 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12072.15254237
If we take 413 away from 430, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12072.15254237, and the remainder is 1.7e-08.
