We divide 987061 by 59
We want to divide 987061 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
59 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
59 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 59 from 98 and we're left with 39.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 397 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 397 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 43.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 354 from 397 and we're left with 43.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 430 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
430 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 167.0
Deduct 413 from 430 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
59 goes into 176 2 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1672.0
Subtract 118 from 176 to get 58.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 581 / 59

On to step 6:
581 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 50.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16729.0
Deduct 531 from 581 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
59 goes into 500 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16729.8
Subtract 472 from 500 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
59 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16729.84
If we take 236 away from 280, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
59 goes into 440 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16729.847
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 413 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
59 goes into 270 4 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16729.8474
If we subtract 236 from 270, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 340 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16729.84745
Deduct 295 from 340 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
450 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16729.847457
Subtract 413 from 450 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 13:
370 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16729.8474576
If we take 354 away from 370, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
160 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16729.84745762
Subtracting 118 from 160 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16729.84745762 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
