Let's divide 983437 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 983437 can be divided by 59.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 59 from 98 leaves us with 39.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 393 / 59

Step 3:
If we divide 393 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 354 from 393 and we're left with 39.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 394 / 59

On to step 4:
If we divide 394 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 166.0
Subtract 354 from 394 to get 40.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 403 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
403 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 49.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1666.0
If we subtract 354 from 403, we get 49.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 497 / 59

On to step 6:
497 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16668.0
If we subtract 472 from 497, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16668.4
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 236 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16668.42
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 118 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
59 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16668.423
Deduct 177 from 220 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
430 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16668.4237
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 413 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
59 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16668.42372
Subtract 118 from 170 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
59 goes into 520 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16668.423728
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 472 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 480 by 59, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16668.4237288
If we subtract 472 from 480, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16668.4237288, and the remainder is 8e-08.
