We look at the division of 598944 by 70 
We're looking to find how many times 70 goes into 598944.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 70 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 70

Advancing to step 2:
The number 70 fits into 59 0 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 59 leaves us with 59.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 598 / 70

Advancing to step 3:
70 can be fit into 598 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 560 from 598 to get 38.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 389 / 70

Step 4:
70 can be fit into 389 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Deduct 350 from 389 and we're left with 39.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 394 / 70

On to step 5:
If we divide 394 by 70, we get 5 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 855.0
Subtracting 350 from 394 leaves us with 44.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 444 / 70

Advancing to step 6:
444 divided by 70 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8556.0
Subtract 420 from 444 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
70 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8556.3
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 70 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8556.34
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 70 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8556.342
Subtract 140 from 200 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
70 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8556.3428
If we take 560 away from 600, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 70, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8556.34285
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 350 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 500 by 70, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8556.342857
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 490 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
70 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8556.3428571
Subtract 70 from 100 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
70 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8556.34285714
Subtract 280 from 300 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8556.34285714 with a balance of 2e-08.
