We're dividing 588719 by 21 
We want to divide 588719 by 21.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 21 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 21

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 21 fits into 58 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 42 from 58.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 21

Advancing to step 3:
21 can be fit into 168 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 168 from 168 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 21

Step 4:
21 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 280.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 21

On to step 5:
The number 21 fits into 71 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2803.0
Subtracting 63 from 71 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 21

On to step 6:
21 can be fit into 89 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28034.0
If we take 84 away from 89, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 21, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28034.2
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 42 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 21, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28034.23
If we take 63 away from 80, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 21 fits into 170 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28034.238
If we take 168 away from 170, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
21 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28034.238
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
21 goes into 200 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28034.23809
If we take 189 away from 200, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 12:
21 can be fit into 110 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28034.238095
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 105 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
50 divided by 21 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28034.2380952
If we subtract 42 from 50, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
21 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28034.23809523
Deduct 63 from 80 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 28034.23809523 with a balance of 1.7e-08.
