We're dividing 58992999 by 996 
Our goal is to divide 58992999 by 996.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 996, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 996

Advancing to step 2:
996 can be fit into 58 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 589 / 996

Advancing to step 3:
996 goes into 589 0 times with a remainder of 589.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 589 and we're left with 589.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 589 and repeat the process: 5899 / 996

Step 4:
996 goes into 5899 5 times with a remainder of 919.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4980 from 5899, we get 919.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 919 and repeat the process: 9192 / 996

On to step 5:
996 goes into 9192 9 times with a remainder of 228.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 8964 from 9192 leaves us with 228.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 228, then repeat: 2289 / 996

Step 6:
2289 divided by 996 is 2 with a remainder of 297.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 592.0
Deduct 1992 from 2289 and we're left with 297.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 297 and continue: 2979 / 996

Let's proceed to step 7:
996 can be fit into 2979 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 987.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5922.0
If we subtract 1992 from 2979, we get 987.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 987 and repeat the process: 9879 / 996

Advancing to step 8:
The number 996 fits into 9879 9 times, leaving a remainder of 915.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59229.0
If we take 8964 away from 9879, we end up with 915.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
9150 divided by 996 is 9 with a remainder of 186.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59229.9
Subtracting 8964 from 9150 leaves us with 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
996 goes into 1860 1 times with a remainder of 864.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59229.91
Subtracting 996 from 1860 leaves us with 864.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
8640 divided by 996 is 8 with a remainder of 672.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59229.918
Subtract 7968 from 8640 to get 672.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6720, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
996 can be fit into 6720 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 744.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 59229.9186
Deduct 5976 from 6720 and we're left with 744.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 7440 by 996, we get 7 and a remainder of 468.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 59229.91867
Subtracting 6972 from 7440 leaves us with 468.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
996 can be fit into 4680 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 696.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 59229.918674
If we take 3984 away from 4680, we end up with 696.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
996 can be fit into 6960 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 984.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59229.9186746
Subtract 5976 from 6960 to get 984.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9840, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 996 fits into 9840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 876.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59229.91867469
If we take 8964 away from 9840, we end up with 876.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8760, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 59229.91867469, with a leftover of 8.76e-07.
