We look at the division of 26604589 by 588 
Our goal is to divide 26604589 by 588.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 588, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 588

Let's proceed to step 2:
588 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 588

Advancing to step 3:
588 goes into 266 0 times with a remainder of 266.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 266 after subtracting 0 from 266.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 266, then carry on: 2660 / 588

On to step 4:
When dividing 2660 by 588, we get 4 with a remainder of 308.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 2352 from 2660 and we're left with 308.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 308, then repeat: 3084 / 588

Advancing to step 5:
588 goes into 3084 5 times with a remainder of 144.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we subtract 2940 from 3084, we get 144.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 144 and repeat the process: 1445 / 588

Step 6:
The number 588 fits into 1445 2 times, leaving a remainder of 269.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 452.0
If we subtract 1176 from 1445, we get 269.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 269, then repeat: 2698 / 588

Advancing to step 7:
588 can be fit into 2698 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 346.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4524.0
Deduct 2352 from 2698 and we're left with 346.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 346, then repeat: 3469 / 588

On to step 8:
588 can be fit into 3469 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 529.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45245.0
The remainder is 529 after subtracting 2940 from 3469.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5290, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 588 fits into 5290 8 times, leaving a remainder of 586.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45245.8
If we take 4704 away from 5290, we end up with 586.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 5860 by 588, we get 9 with a remainder of 568.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45245.89
If we subtract 5292 from 5860, we get 568.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5680, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 588 fits into 5680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 388.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45245.899
Deduct 5292 from 5680 and we're left with 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 45245.899 with a balance of 0.0388.
