We divide 983908 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 983908 can be divided by 59.

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
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 59 from 98.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 393 / 59

On to step 3:
When dividing 393 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 354 from 393, we get 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 59

Step 4:
59 goes into 399 6 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 166.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 354 from 399.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 450 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 450 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1667.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 413 from 450.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 378 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
378 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16676.0
Deduct 354 from 378 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16676.4
Subtracting 236 from 240 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
59 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16676.4
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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 9:
59 goes into 400 6 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16676.406
If we subtract 354 from 400, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
59 can be fit into 460 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16676.4067
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 413 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 470 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16676.40677
Subtract 413 from 470 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 16676.40677, with a leftover of 5.7e-05.
