866998 ÷ 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 866998.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
59 goes into 86 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 59 from 86 and we're left with 27.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 276 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 276 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 236 from 276 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 409 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 55.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146.0
Subtracting 354 from 409 leaves us with 55.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 559 / 59

Step 5:
559 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1469.0
If we subtract 531 from 559, we get 28.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 288 / 59

On to step 6:
59 goes into 288 4 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14694.0
If we take 236 away from 288, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 520 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14694.8
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 472 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
59 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14694.88
If we subtract 472 from 480, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 14694.88 with a remainder of 0.008.
