983986 ÷ 59 
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 983986.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 59

Step 2:
98 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 59 from 98 leaves us with 39.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 393 / 59

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 393 6 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 354 away from 393, we end up with 39.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 399 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
59 can be fit into 399 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 166.0
Subtracting 354 from 399 leaves us with 45.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 458 / 59

On to step 5:
59 can be fit into 458 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1667.0
Subtract 413 from 458 to get 45.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 456 / 59

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 456 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16677.0
Subtract 413 from 456 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16677.7
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 8:
If we divide 170 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16677.72
Deduct 118 from 170 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
59 goes into 520 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16677.728
If we subtract 472 from 520, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
480 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16677.7288
Deduct 472 from 480 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16677.7288 with a balance of 8e-05.
