We divide 972851 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 972851 can be divided by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 59 from 97 leaves us with 38.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 382 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
59 goes into 382 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 354 from 382 leaves us with 28.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 288 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
288 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
Subtract 236 from 288 to get 52.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 525 / 59

Step 5:
If we divide 525 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 53.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1648.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 472 from 525.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 531 / 59

On to step 6:
531 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16489.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 531 from 531.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
59 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16489.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16489.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 16489.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
