Let's divide 987844 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 987844 can be divided by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 59 from 98 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 397 / 59

On to step 3:
397 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 354 from 397 leaves us with 43.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 438 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 goes into 438 7 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 167.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 413 from 438.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
254 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1674.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 236 from 254.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 184 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16743.0
If we take 177 away from 184, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16743.1
Subtract 59 from 70 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
110 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16743.11
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 59 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The final result is 16743.11 with a remainder of 0.051.
