Let's divide 171668 by 59
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 171668.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 59

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 171 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 118 from 171 leaves us with 53.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 536 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 536 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 531 from 536 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
59 goes into 56 0 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 290.0
If we take 0 away from 56, we end up with 56.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 568 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 568 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2909.0
Subtracting 531 from 568 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
370 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2909.6
Subtract 354 from 370 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2909.62
If we subtract 118 from 160, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
420 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2909.627
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 413 from 420.
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 10:
59 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2909.6271
Deduct 59 from 70 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
59 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2909.62711
If we take 59 away from 110, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2909.62711 and a remainder of 5.1e-05.
