Let's divide 986317 by 59
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 986317.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 59 from 98, we get 39.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 396 / 59

On to step 3:
396 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 354 from 396 leaves us with 42.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 423 / 59

On to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 423 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 167.0
Subtract 413 from 423 to get 10.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 101 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 59 fits into 101 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1671.0
Deduct 59 from 101 and we're left with 42.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 427 / 59

On to step 6:
If we divide 427 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16717.0
Deduct 413 from 427 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
140 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16717.2
If we subtract 118 from 140, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16717.23
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 9:
59 can be fit into 430 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16717.237
If we subtract 413 from 430, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 170 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16717.2372
If we subtract 118 from 170, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 520 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16717.23728
Subtract 472 from 520 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
480 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16717.237288
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 472 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16717.237288 with a balance of 8e-07.
