We're dividing 872998 by 58 
Our goal is to divide 872998 by 58.

Moving on to step 1:
58 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 58

Moving on to step 2:
87 divided by 58 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 58 away from 87, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 292 / 58

Step 3:
If we divide 292 by 58, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 290 from 292, we get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 58

Let's proceed to step 4:
58 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 150.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 58

On to step 5:
299 divided by 58 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1505.0
Subtracting 290 from 299 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 58

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 58 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15051.0
If we subtract 58 from 98, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
58 goes into 400 6 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15051.6
If we subtract 348 from 400, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
58 goes into 520 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15051.68
If we take 464 away from 520, 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.

On to step 9:
560 divided by 58 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15051.689
If we take 522 away from 560, we end up with 38.
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 10:
58 can be fit into 380 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15051.6896
Deduct 348 from 380 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 58, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15051.68965
If we take 290 away from 320, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
58 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15051.689655
Deduct 290 from 300 and we're left 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 15051.689655, and the remainder is 1e-06.
