We're dividing 972688 by 58 
We're looking to find how many times 58 goes into 972688.

Step 1:
9 divided by 58 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 58

Going ahead to step 2:
58 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 58 from 97 and we're left with 39.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 392 / 58

Advancing to step 3:
58 goes into 392 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 348 from 392 to get 44.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 446 / 58

Moving on to step 4:
58 goes into 446 7 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 167.0
Deduct 406 from 446 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 408 / 58

Advancing to step 5:
The number 58 fits into 408 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1677.0
Subtracting 406 from 408 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 58

Advancing to step 6:
58 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16770.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
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 7:
58 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16770.4
If we subtract 232 from 280, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
58 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16770.48
Subtracting 464 from 480 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 58 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16770.482
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 116 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 440 by 58, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16770.4827
Subtracting 406 from 440 leaves us with 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 11:
When dividing 340 by 58, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16770.48275
If we take 290 away from 340, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
500 divided by 58 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16770.482758
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 464 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 360 by 58, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16770.4827586
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 348 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
58 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16770.48275862
Subtract 116 from 120 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 16770.48275862 and a remainder of 4e-09.
