We're dividing 168958 by 59 
We want to divide 168958 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 168 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 50.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 118 from 168, we get 50.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 509 / 59

On to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 509 8 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 472 from 509 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 375 / 59

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 375 by 59, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 286.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 354 from 375.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 59

On to step 6:
If we divide 218 by 59, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2863.0
Subtract 177 from 218 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
59 goes into 410 6 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2863.6
Subtract 354 from 410 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
560 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2863.69
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 531 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 290 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2863.694
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 236 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 540 by 59, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2863.6949
Subtract 531 from 540 to 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 11:
90 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2863.69491
Subtracting 59 from 90 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 310 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2863.694915
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 59 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2863.6949152
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2863.69491525
If we subtract 295 from 320, we 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.

The final result is 2863.69491525 with a remainder of 2.5e-08.
