Let's divide 976531 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 976531.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 59

Step 2:
When dividing 97 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 59 away from 97, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 386 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
59 can be fit into 386 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 354 away from 386, we end up with 32.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 325 / 59

On to step 4:
325 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 165.0
Deduct 295 from 325 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 303 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
59 goes into 303 5 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1655.0
Subtracting 295 from 303 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 81 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
59 goes into 81 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16551.0
If we subtract 59 from 81, we 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 7:
220 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16551.3
Subtract 177 from 220 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 430 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16551.37
Deduct 413 from 430 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16551.372
If we take 118 away from 170, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
520 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16551.3728
Subtracting 472 from 520 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
59 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16551.37288
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 472 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 16551.37288 and a remainder of 8e-06.
