160879 ÷ 59 
Our goal is to divide 160879 by 59.

Advancing to step 1:
59 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 59

Step 2:
The number 59 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 160 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 59 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 118 from 160, we get 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 59

Step 4:
59 goes into 428 7 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 413 from 428, we get 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 59

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 157 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 39.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272.0
Subtract 118 from 157 to get 39.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 399 / 59

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 399 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 45.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2726.0
If we take 354 away from 399, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
450 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2726.7
If we subtract 413 from 450, we get 37.
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 8:
If we divide 370 by 59, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2726.76
If we subtract 354 from 370, we 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 59, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2726.762
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
59 can be fit into 420 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2726.7627
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 413 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 70 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2726.76271
Subtract 59 from 70 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 59 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2726.762711
Subtracting 59 from 110 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2726.762711 with a remaining 5.1e-06.
