We're dividing 65986554 by 531 
We're looking to find how many times 531 goes into 65986554.

Step 1:
6 divided by 531 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 531

On to step 2:
When dividing 65 by 531, we get 0 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 65 and we're left with 65.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 659 / 531

Step 3:
If we divide 659 by 531, we get 1 and a remainder of 128.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 531 away from 659, we end up with 128.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 128 and continue: 1288 / 531

Step 4:
531 goes into 1288 2 times with a remainder of 226.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 1062 from 1288, we get 226.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 226 and repeat the process: 2266 / 531

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 2266 by 531, we get 4 and a remainder of 142.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 142 after subtracting 2124 from 2266.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 142 and continue: 1425 / 531

Advancing to step 6:
531 goes into 1425 2 times with a remainder of 363.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1242.0
If we subtract 1062 from 1425, we get 363.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 363, then repeat: 3635 / 531

Step 7:
The number 531 fits into 3635 6 times, leaving a remainder of 449.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12426.0
Subtracting 3186 from 3635 leaves us with 449.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 449 and repeat the process: 4494 / 531

Advancing to step 8:
531 goes into 4494 8 times with a remainder of 246.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124268.0
Subtracting 4248 from 4494 leaves us with 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 2460 by 531, we get 4 with a remainder of 336.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124268.4
Deduct 2124 from 2460 and we're left with 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
531 can be fit into 3360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 174.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124268.46
The remainder is 174 after subtracting 3186 from 3360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 1740 by 531, we get 3 and a remainder of 147.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 124268.463
If we take 1593 away from 1740, we end up with 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 1470 by 531, we get 2 with a remainder of 408.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 124268.4632
Subtract 1062 from 1470 to get 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
531 goes into 4080 7 times with a remainder of 363.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124268.46327
Subtract 3717 from 4080 to get 363.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3630, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 3630 by 531, we get 6 and a remainder of 444.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124268.463276
Subtract 3186 from 3630 to get 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 4440 by 531, we get 8 and a remainder of 192.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 124268.4632768
Deduct 4248 from 4440 and we're left with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 1920 by 531, we get 3 with a remainder of 327.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124268.46327683
The remainder is 327 after subtracting 1593 from 1920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3270, and continue the process.

Our division results in 124268.46327683 with a remaining 3.27e-07.
