102985 ÷ 59 
We want to divide 102985 by 59.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 59

On to step 2:
59 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 102 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 102 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 59 from 102 to get 43.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 can be fit into 439 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 413 from 439 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 268 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 268 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we take 236 away from 268, we end up with 32.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 325 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 325 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1745.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 295 from 325.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
300 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1745.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 295 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
50 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1745.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1745.508
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 472 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
59 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1745.5084
Subtract 236 from 280 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
440 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1745.50847
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 59 fits into 270 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1745.508474
Subtract 236 from 270 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
340 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1745.5084745
If we subtract 295 from 340, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 14:
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: 1745.50847457
If we subtract 413 from 450, we 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.

Our division results in 1745.50847457 with a remaining 3.7e-08.
