166996 divided by 59 
Our goal is to divide 166996 by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
59 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 59

Step 2:
16 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
59 can be fit into 166 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 118 from 166 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 59

Step 4:
The number 59 fits into 489 8 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 472 away from 489, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
59 can be fit into 179 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 283.0
Deduct 177 from 179 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
26 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2830.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2830.4
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 236 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
240 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2830.44
Deduct 236 from 240 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2830.44 with a balance of 0.004.
