We look at the division of 158981 by 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 158981.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 59

Step 2:
When dividing 15 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 158 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 118 away from 158, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 409 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 354 away from 409, we end up with 55.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 558 / 59

On to step 5:
59 goes into 558 9 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 269.0
Subtracting 531 from 558 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 271 4 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2694.0
If we take 236 away from 271, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 350 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2694.5
If we take 295 away from 350, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
59 can be fit into 550 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2694.59
Subtracting 531 from 550 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 9:
190 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2694.593
Subtracting 177 from 190 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 130 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2694.5932
If we subtract 118 from 130, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
59 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2694.59322
Subtract 118 from 120 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2694.59322 with a balance of 2e-06.
