Let's divide 987661 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 987661 can be divided by 59.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
59 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 59 from 98, we get 39.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 397 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
397 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 43.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 354 from 397, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 436 / 59

Advancing to step 4:
436 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 167.0
If we subtract 413 from 436, we get 23.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 236 / 59

Step 5:
If we divide 236 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1674.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 236 from 236.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
The number 59 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16740.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 59 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16740.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16740.01
Deduct 59 from 100 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
59 can be fit into 410 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16740.016
Deduct 354 from 410 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
59 can be fit into 560 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16740.0169
Deduct 531 from 560 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 290 by 59, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16740.01694
Subtracting 236 from 290 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
59 can be fit into 540 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16740.016949
If we subtract 531 from 540, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 59 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16740.0169491
If we subtract 59 from 90, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 59 fits into 310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16740.01694915
If we take 295 away from 310, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16740.01694915, and the remainder is 1.5e-08.
