We look at the division of 13901178 by 588 
We're looking to find how many times 588 goes into 13901178.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 588, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 588

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 588 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 13 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 588

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 139 by 588, we get 0 and a remainder of 139.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 139 and we're left with 139.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 139, then carry on: 1390 / 588

Going ahead to step 4:
1390 divided by 588 is 2 with a remainder of 214.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1176 from 1390 to get 214.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 214, then repeat: 2141 / 588

Let's proceed to step 5:
588 can be fit into 2141 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 377.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 1764 from 2141, we get 377.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 377, then repeat: 3771 / 588

On to step 6:
The number 588 fits into 3771 6 times, leaving a remainder of 243.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 236.0
Deduct 3528 from 3771 and we're left with 243.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 243 and continue with: 2437 / 588

Going ahead to step 7:
2437 divided by 588 is 4 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2364.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 2352 from 2437.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 85 and repeat the process: 858 / 588

On to step 8:
The number 588 fits into 858 1 times, leaving a remainder of 270.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23641.0
Deduct 588 from 858 and we're left with 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Step 9:
2700 divided by 588 is 4 with a remainder of 348.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23641.4
Deduct 2352 from 2700 and we're left with 348.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
3480 divided by 588 is 5 with a remainder of 540.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23641.45
Subtracting 2940 from 3480 leaves us with 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
5400 divided by 588 is 9 with a remainder of 108.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23641.459
Subtracting 5292 from 5400 leaves us with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
588 can be fit into 1080 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 492.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23641.4591
Subtract 588 from 1080 to get 492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4920, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
588 can be fit into 4920 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 216.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23641.45918
Subtracting 4704 from 4920 leaves us with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
588 goes into 2160 3 times with a remainder of 396.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23641.459183
Subtract 1764 from 2160 to get 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 3960 by 588, we get 6 with a remainder of 432.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23641.4591836
If we take 3528 away from 3960, we end up with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 4320 by 588, we get 7 with a remainder of 204.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23641.45918367
The remainder is 204 after subtracting 4116 from 4320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

The final result is 23641.45918367 with a remainder of 2.04e-07.
