We divide 592971 by 4
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 592971.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 4 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 4 away from 5, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 4

Let's proceed to step 2:
19 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 16 from 19.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
The number 4 fits into 32 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148.0
If we subtract 32 from 32, we get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

Step 4:
If we divide 9 by 4, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1482.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 4

On to step 5:
17 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14824.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 4

Moving on to step 6:
11 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148242.0
Deduct 8 from 11 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 4, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148242.7
Subtract 28 from 30 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 4 fits into 20 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148242.75
If we take 20 away from 20, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148242.75
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 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 10:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148242.75
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 148242.75 with a remaining 0.0.
