We're dividing 589715 by 99 
We want to divide 589715 by 99.

Going ahead to step 1:
99 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
99 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 58 and we're left with 58.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 589 / 99

On to step 3:
99 goes into 589 5 times with a remainder of 94.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 495 from 589 leaves us with 94.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 94 and continue: 947 / 99

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 947 9 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 891 from 947.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 561 / 99

Step 5:
The number 99 fits into 561 5 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 595.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 495 from 561.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 665 / 99

Step 6:
When dividing 665 by 99, we get 6 with a remainder of 71.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5956.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 594 from 665.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
99 goes into 710 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5956.7
If we subtract 693 from 710, 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 170 by 99, we get 1 and a remainder of 71.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5956.71
Subtracting 99 from 170 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
99 can be fit into 710 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5956.717
If we take 693 away from 710, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
99 goes into 170 1 times with a remainder of 71.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5956.7171
If we take 99 away from 170, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
99 can be fit into 710 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5956.71717
Subtract 693 from 710 to 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.

On to step 12:
99 goes into 170 1 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5956.717171
Subtract 99 from 170 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
99 goes into 710 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5956.7171717
Subtracting 693 from 710 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
170 divided by 99 is 1 with a remainder of 71.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5956.71717171
If we take 99 away from 170, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

The final result is 5956.71717171 with a remainder of 7.1e-08.
