We look at the division of 968871 by 59 
We want to figure out the number of times 968871 can be divided by 59.

On to step 1:
59 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
59 goes into 96 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 59 from 96.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 378 / 59

Step 3:
378 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 354 from 378.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 59

Step 4:
The number 59 fits into 248 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164.0
Subtract 236 from 248 to get 12.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
59 goes into 127 2 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1642.0
If we subtract 118 from 127, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 59

On to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 91 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16421.0
If we subtract 59 from 91, we get 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 7:
The number 59 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16421.5
Subtracting 295 from 320 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 250 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16421.54
Deduct 236 from 250 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
59 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16421.542
Subtracting 118 from 140 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 59, we get 3 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16421.5423
If we take 177 away from 220, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 11:
59 can be fit into 430 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16421.54237
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.

Moving on to step 12:
170 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16421.542372
Subtract 118 from 170 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 520 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16421.5423728
If we subtract 472 from 520, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 480 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16421.54237288
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.

Our division results in 16421.54237288 with a remaining 8e-09.
