We divide 581917 by 99
We want to divide 581917 by 99.

Step 1:
5 divided by 99 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 99

Step 2:
99 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 0 from 58.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 581 / 99

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 581 by 99, we get 5 and a remainder of 86.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 495 from 581, we get 86.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 869 / 99

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 869 by 99, we get 8 with a remainder of 77.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 792 from 869 leaves us with 77.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 771 / 99

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 99 fits into 771 7 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 587.0
Deduct 693 from 771 and we're left with 78.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 787 / 99

Step 6:
When dividing 787 by 99, we get 7 with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5877.0
Subtracting 693 from 787 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 940 by 99, we get 9 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5877.9
Deduct 891 from 940 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
490 divided by 99 is 4 with a remainder of 94.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5877.94
Deduct 396 from 490 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 940 by 99, we get 9 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5877.949
If we take 891 away from 940, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
99 goes into 490 4 times with a remainder of 94.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5877.9494
Subtract 396 from 490 to get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
99 can be fit into 940 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5877.94949
Deduct 891 from 940 and we're left with 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 12:
When dividing 490 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 94.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5877.949494
Subtract 396 from 490 to get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 13:
99 goes into 940 9 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5877.9494949
If we subtract 891 from 940, 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.

On to step 14:
99 can be fit into 490 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5877.94949494
Deduct 396 from 490 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5877.94949494 with a remaining 9.4e-08.
