Let's divide 501978 by 60
Our goal is to divide 501978 by 60.

Let's proceed to step 1:
60 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 60

Advancing to step 2:
The number 60 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 501 / 60

Advancing to step 3:
60 goes into 501 8 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 480 from 501.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 60

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 219 by 60, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 83.0
Deduct 180 from 219 and we're left with 39.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 397 / 60

Advancing to step 5:
60 goes into 397 6 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 836.0
If we take 360 away from 397, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 378 / 60

Moving on to step 6:
60 goes into 378 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8366.0
Subtracting 360 from 378 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
60 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8366.3
Subtracting 180 from 180 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 60, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8366.3
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
0 divided by 60 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8366.3
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8366.3, and the remainder is 0.0.
