We divide 987187 by 59
We're looking to find how many times 59 goes into 987187.

On to step 1:
The number 59 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 59

On to step 2:
59 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 59 away from 98, we end up with 39.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 397 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
59 can be fit into 397 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 354 from 397.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 431 / 59

Moving on to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 431 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 167.0
If we subtract 413 from 431, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
59 can be fit into 188 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1673.0
Deduct 177 from 188 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 117 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 58.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16731.0
Subtract 59 from 117 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
580 divided by 59 is 9 with a remainder of 49.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16731.9
Subtracting 531 from 580 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 490 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16731.98
If we take 472 away from 490, we end up 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.

Step 9:
180 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16731.983
If we take 177 away from 180, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 30 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16731.983
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16731.98305
Deduct 295 from 300 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
59 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16731.98305
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 500 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16731.9830508
Subtract 472 from 500 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
59 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16731.98305084
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 236 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 16731.98305084 and a remainder of 4.4e-08.
