Let's divide 16973 by 60
Our goal is to divide 16973 by 60.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 60, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 60

On to step 2:
16 divided by 60 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 60

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 169 by 60, we get 2 and a remainder of 49.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 120 away from 169, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 497 / 60

Advancing to step 4:
60 can be fit into 497 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 480 away from 497, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 173 / 60

Advancing to step 5:
60 can be fit into 173 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 282.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 120 from 173.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
60 goes into 530 8 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 282.8
If we take 480 away from 530, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 60 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 282.88
Subtracting 480 from 500 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 282.88 and a remainder of 0.02.
