We divide 878987 by 58
Our goal is to divide 878987 by 58.

Advancing to step 1:
58 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 58

Advancing to step 2:
87 divided by 58 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 58 from 87 and we're left with 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 58

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 58 fits into 298 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 290 from 298 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 58

Advancing to step 4:
58 goes into 89 1 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 151.0
If we subtract 58 from 89, we get 31.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 318 / 58

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 318 by 58, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1515.0
If we subtract 290 from 318, we get 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 58

Going ahead to step 6:
58 can be fit into 287 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15154.0
Deduct 232 from 287 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 58 fits into 550 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15154.9
If we subtract 522 from 550, we 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 8:
If we divide 280 by 58, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15154.94
Subtract 232 from 280 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 58, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15154.948
Subtract 464 from 480 to get 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 10:
58 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15154.9482
Deduct 116 from 160 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
58 can be fit into 440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15154.94827
Subtracting 406 from 440 leaves us 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 12:
The number 58 fits into 340 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15154.948275
If we take 290 away from 340, we end up with 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:
500 divided by 58 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15154.9482758
If we subtract 464 from 500, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 58 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15154.94827586
If we subtract 348 from 360, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15154.94827586 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
