We look at the division of 83988 by 59 
We want to divide 83988 by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 83 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 83 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 59 from 83 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 249 / 59

Step 3:
249 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 236 from 249 to get 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 59

On to step 4:
59 can be fit into 138 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142.0
Deduct 118 from 138 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 208 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 208 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1423.0
Subtracting 177 from 208 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 310 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1423.5
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 295 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1423.52
Deduct 118 from 150 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
59 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1423.525
Subtract 295 from 320 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1423.5254
If we take 236 away from 250, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
59 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1423.52542
Subtract 118 from 140 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 220 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1423.525423
Subtracting 177 from 220 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
59 goes into 430 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1423.5254237
Subtracting 413 from 430 leaves us with 17.
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 13:
If we divide 170 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1423.52542372
Subtracting 118 from 170 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 1423.52542372, with a leftover of 5.2e-08.
