We're dividing 35871529 by 659 
Let's see how many times 659 fits into 35871529.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 659, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 659

Advancing to step 2:
659 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 35, we end up with 35.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 358 / 659

Let's proceed to step 3:
659 goes into 358 0 times with a remainder of 358.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 358 and we're left with 358.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 358, then repeat: 3587 / 659

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 659 fits into 3587 5 times, leaving a remainder of 292.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 3295 from 3587 to get 292.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 292, then repeat: 2921 / 659

Advancing to step 5:
The number 659 fits into 2921 4 times, leaving a remainder of 285.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 2636 away from 2921, we end up with 285.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 285 and continue: 2855 / 659

On to step 6:
2855 divided by 659 is 4 with a remainder of 219.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 544.0
If we subtract 2636 from 2855, we get 219.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 219, then repeat: 2192 / 659

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 2192 by 659, we get 3 and a remainder of 215.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5443.0
If we subtract 1977 from 2192, we get 215.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 215 and continue: 2159 / 659

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 2159 by 659, we get 3 with a remainder of 182.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54433.0
If we subtract 1977 from 2159, we get 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
659 goes into 1820 2 times with a remainder of 502.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54433.2
If we subtract 1318 from 1820, we get 502.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5020, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 5020 by 659, we get 7 with a remainder of 407.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54433.27
If we subtract 4613 from 5020, we get 407.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4070, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 4070 by 659, we get 6 with a remainder of 116.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54433.276
Deduct 3954 from 4070 and we're left with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
1160 divided by 659 is 1 with a remainder of 501.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 54433.2761
If we take 659 away from 1160, we end up with 501.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5010, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
5010 divided by 659 is 7 with a remainder of 397.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54433.27617
If we subtract 4613 from 5010, we get 397.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3970, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 659 fits into 3970 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54433.276176
If we take 3954 away from 3970, 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.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 160 by 659, we get 0 with a remainder of 160.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54433.276176
Subtracting 0 from 160 leaves us with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 1600 by 659, we get 2 and a remainder of 282.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54433.27617602
Subtracting 1318 from 1600 leaves us with 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54433.27617602 with a balance of 2.82e-07.
