We look at the division of 596317 by 12 
We're looking to find how many times 12 goes into 596317.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 12

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 59 by 12, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 48 from 59 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 116 / 12

Let's proceed to step 3:
12 goes into 116 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 108 away from 116, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
12 goes into 83 6 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 496.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 72 from 83.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 111 / 12

Moving on to step 5:
The number 12 fits into 111 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4969.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 108 from 111.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
37 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49693.0
Subtract 36 from 37 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49693.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
12 can be fit into 100 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49693.08
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
12 can be fit into 40 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49693.083
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
12 can be fit into 40 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49693.0833
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 49693.0833 with a balance of 4e-05.
