We're dividing 978147 by 59 
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 978147.

Moving on 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
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
59 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 59 away from 97, we end up with 38.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 388 / 59

On to step 3:
388 divided by 59 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 354 from 388 to get 34.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 341 / 59

On to step 4:
If we divide 341 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 165.0
If we take 295 away from 341, we end up with 46.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 464 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
464 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 51.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1657.0
If we subtract 413 from 464, we get 51.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 517 / 59

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 517 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16578.0
If we subtract 472 from 517, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
59 goes into 450 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16578.7
Deduct 413 from 450 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16578.76
If we take 354 away from 370, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 59 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16578.762
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 118 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
420 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16578.7627
Deduct 413 from 420 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 70 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16578.76271
Deduct 59 from 70 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 110 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16578.762711
If we subtract 59 from 110, we get 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 final result is 16578.762711 with a remainder of 5.1e-06.
