Let's divide 272501 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 272501.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 59

Step 2:
The number 59 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 59

On to step 3:
272 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 236 from 272 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 365 / 59

Step 4:
If we divide 365 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 354 from 365 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 110 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 110 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 51.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 461.0
Subtracting 59 from 110 leaves us with 51.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 511 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
511 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4618.0
Deduct 472 from 511 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4618.6
Subtract 354 from 390 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4618.66
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 354 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4618.66 with a balance of 0.006.
