300987 ÷ 59 
Our goal is to divide 300987 by 59.

Moving on to step 1:
59 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 59

Step 2:
If we divide 30 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 300 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
300 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 295 away from 300, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 can be fit into 59 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 59 from 59 to get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 510.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 59

On to step 6:
If we divide 87 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5101.0
Subtract 59 from 87 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.

On to step 7:
59 can be fit into 280 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5101.4
Subtracting 236 from 280 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 440 by 59, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5101.47
Subtracting 413 from 440 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 59 fits into 270 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5101.474
If we take 236 away from 270, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
340 divided by 59 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5101.4745
If we take 295 away from 340, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 450 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5101.47457
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 413 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
59 can be fit into 370 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5101.474576
Subtracting 354 from 370 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5101.4745762
Deduct 118 from 160 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 14:
420 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5101.47457627
If we take 413 away from 420, we end up 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.

The final result is 5101.47457627 with a remainder of 7e-09.
