979859 ÷ 59 
Let's see how many times 59 fits into 979859.

Let's proceed to step 1:
59 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 59

Step 2:
If we divide 97 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 59 from 97, we get 38.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 389 / 59

Moving on to step 3:
59 goes into 389 6 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 354 from 389, we get 35.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 358 / 59

On to step 4:
59 goes into 358 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166.0
If we take 354 away from 358, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
45 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1660.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, we get 45.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 459 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 459 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 46.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16607.0
If we subtract 413 from 459, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 460 by 59, we get 7 and a remainder of 47.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16607.7
Subtract 413 from 460 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
470 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16607.77
If we subtract 413 from 470, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

The final result is 16607.77 with a remainder of 0.057.
