796979 ÷ 59 
We want to divide 796979 by 59.

Step 1:
59 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 59

Advancing to step 2:
79 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 59 from 79 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 206 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 177 from 206.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 59

On to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 299 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 135.0
If we take 295 away from 299, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 59

Step 5:
47 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1350.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
59 can be fit into 479 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13508.0
Deduct 472 from 479 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 70 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13508.1
Subtract 59 from 70 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 51.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13508.11
If we take 59 away from 110, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13508.11, and the remainder is 0.051.
