Let's divide 12989238 by 601
We want to figure out the number of times 12989238 can be divided by 601.

Advancing to step 1:
601 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 601

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 12 by 601, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 601

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 129 by 601, we get 0 with a remainder of 129.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 129 leaves us with 129.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 129, then repeat: 1298 / 601

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1298 by 601, we get 2 and a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1202 from 1298 to get 96.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 96, then repeat: 969 / 601

On to step 5:
601 goes into 969 1 times with a remainder of 368.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 601 from 969 leaves us with 368.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 368 and continue with: 3682 / 601

On to step 6:
601 can be fit into 3682 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 216.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 3606 from 3682.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 763 / 601

Going ahead to step 7:
601 goes into 763 1 times with a remainder of 162.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2161.0
If we subtract 601 from 763, we get 162.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 162, then repeat: 1628 / 601

Let's proceed to step 8:
1628 divided by 601 is 2 with a remainder of 426.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21612.0
Subtract 1202 from 1628 to get 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
4260 divided by 601 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21612.7
Subtract 4207 from 4260 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
530 divided by 601 is 0 with a remainder of 530.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21612.7
The remainder is 530 after subtracting 0 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
601 goes into 5300 8 times with a remainder of 492.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21612.708
Subtracting 4808 from 5300 leaves us with 492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4920, and continue the process.

Step 12:
601 goes into 4920 8 times with a remainder of 112.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21612.7088
Subtracting 4808 from 4920 leaves us with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21612.7088 with a balance of 0.00112.
