Let's divide 996897 by 58
We want to figure out the number of times 996897 can be divided by 58.

Advancing to step 1:
58 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 58

Step 2:
The number 58 fits into 99 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 58 from 99.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 416 / 58

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 416 by 58, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 406 from 416.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 58

Step 4:
When dividing 108 by 58, we get 1 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtracting 58 from 108 leaves us with 50.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 509 / 58

On to step 5:
509 divided by 58 is 8 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1718.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 464 from 509.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 457 / 58

Advancing to step 6:
457 divided by 58 is 7 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17187.0
Deduct 406 from 457 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
58 goes into 510 8 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17187.8
If we take 464 away from 510, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
58 can be fit into 460 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17187.87
If we take 406 away from 460, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 58 fits into 540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17187.879
If we take 522 away from 540, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
58 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17187.8793
If we take 174 away from 180, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
60 divided by 58 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17187.87931
Subtracting 58 from 60 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
58 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17187.87931
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
200 divided by 58 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17187.8793103
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 174 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 260 by 58, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17187.87931034
Subtract 232 from 260 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17187.87931034 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
