We're dividing 2948840 by 591 
We're looking to find how many times 591 goes into 2948840.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 591, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 591

Going ahead to step 2:
591 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 294 / 591

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 294 by 591, we get 0 and a remainder of 294.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 294 to get 294.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 294 and continue with: 2948 / 591

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 591 fits into 2948 4 times, leaving a remainder of 584.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 2364 from 2948, we get 584.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 584 and repeat the process: 5848 / 591

Advancing to step 5:
5848 divided by 591 is 9 with a remainder of 529.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtracting 5319 from 5848 leaves us with 529.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 529 and continue: 5294 / 591

Moving on to step 6:
591 can be fit into 5294 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 566.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 498.0
Subtracting 4728 from 5294 leaves us with 566.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 566 and repeat the process: 5660 / 591

Going ahead to step 7:
5660 divided by 591 is 9 with a remainder of 341.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4989.0
Subtracting 5319 from 5660 leaves us with 341.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
3410 divided by 591 is 5 with a remainder of 455.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4989.5
Subtracting 2955 from 3410 leaves us with 455.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
591 can be fit into 4550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 413.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4989.57
Subtracting 4137 from 4550 leaves us with 413.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 4130 by 591, we get 6 with a remainder of 584.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4989.576
Subtract 3546 from 4130 to get 584.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
591 goes into 5840 9 times with a remainder of 521.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4989.5769
If we subtract 5319 from 5840, we get 521.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5210, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 591 fits into 5210 8 times, leaving a remainder of 482.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4989.57698
Subtracting 4728 from 5210 leaves us with 482.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4820, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 4820 by 591, we get 8 and a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4989.576988
If we take 4728 away from 4820, we end up 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.

The final result is 4989.576988 with a remainder of 9.2e-06.
