Let's divide 148604 by 5
We want to divide 148604 by 5.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 5

Going ahead to step 2:
5 can be fit into 14 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 10 from 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 5

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 48 by 5, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 45 from 48 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 5

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 36 by 5, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 297.0
If we take 35 away from 36, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 5

Let's proceed to step 5:
5 can be fit into 10 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2972.0
Subtracting 10 from 10 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 5

Step 6:
The number 5 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29720.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
5 goes into 40 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29720.8
Subtracting 40 from 40 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29720.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29720.8
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 29720.8, with a leftover of 0.0.
