We're dividing 5981608 by 124 
We want to figure out the number of times 5981608 can be divided by 124.

On to step 1:
124 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 124

Let's proceed to step 2:
124 can be fit into 59 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 59 leaves us with 59.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 598 / 124

On to step 3:
124 can be fit into 598 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 102.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 496 from 598 leaves us with 102.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 102 and repeat the process: 1021 / 124

Step 4:
124 can be fit into 1021 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 992 from 1021, we get 29.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 296 / 124

Moving on to step 5:
124 goes into 296 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 482.0
Subtracting 248 from 296 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 480 / 124

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 480 by 124, we get 3 with a remainder of 108.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4823.0
If we take 372 away from 480, we end up with 108.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 108, then repeat: 1088 / 124

Step 7:
The number 124 fits into 1088 8 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48238.0
If we take 992 away from 1088, we end up with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
124 goes into 960 7 times with a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 48238.7
Deduct 868 from 960 and we're left with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 920 by 124, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48238.77
Subtract 868 from 920 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 48238.77 and a remainder of 0.052.
