We're dividing 980279 by 59 
Our goal is to divide 980279 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 59 from 98.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 390 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
390 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 354 from 390 and we're left with 36.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 362 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
59 goes into 362 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 166.0
If we subtract 354 from 362, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 59

Step 5:
If we divide 87 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1661.0
If we subtract 59 from 87, we get 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
289 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16614.0
Deduct 236 from 289 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 530 8 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16614.8
Deduct 472 from 530 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 49.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16614.89
If we subtract 531 from 580, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 490 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16614.898
Subtracting 472 from 490 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
180 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16614.8983
Subtract 177 from 180 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
30 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16614.8983
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 59 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16614.898305
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 295 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16614.898305
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 59 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16614.89830508
Subtract 472 from 500 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.

After the division, we end up with 16614.89830508 and a remainder of 2.8e-08.
