160872 ÷ 58 
We want to divide 160872 by 58.

Step 1:
58 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 58

Moving on to step 2:
16 divided by 58 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 160 / 58

Step 3:
When dividing 160 by 58, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 116 from 160.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 448 / 58

Advancing to step 4:
58 goes into 448 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 406 away from 448, we end up with 42.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 427 / 58

Moving on to step 5:
58 can be fit into 427 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 277.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 406 from 427.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 212 / 58

Step 6:
The number 58 fits into 212 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2773.0
If we subtract 174 from 212, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 58 fits into 380 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2773.6
Subtract 348 from 380 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
58 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2773.65
Subtracting 290 from 320 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 58, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2773.655
If we subtract 290 from 300, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2773.655 and a remainder of 0.001.
