101985 divided by 59 
Our goal is to divide 101985 by 59.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 10 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 101 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 101 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 59 from 101 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 429 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
429 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 413 from 429, we get 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
168 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
If we subtract 118 from 168, we get 50.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 505 / 59

Going ahead to step 6:
505 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 33.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1728.0
Subtract 472 from 505 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
59 can be fit into 330 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1728.5
Subtracting 295 from 330 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 350 by 59, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1728.55
Subtracting 295 from 350 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1728.55 with a balance of 0.055.
