We're dividing 589962 by 4 
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 589962.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 4 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 4

On to step 2:
4 goes into 18 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 16 from 18 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 4

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 29 by 4, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 147.0
Deduct 28 from 29 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
19 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1474.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 16 from 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 4

On to step 5:
The number 4 fits into 36 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14749.0
Deduct 36 from 36 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 4

On to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 147490.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 20 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 147490.5
If we subtract 20 from 20, we 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 147490.5
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 147490.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 147490.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
