We're dividing 589648 by 4 
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 589648.

Step 1:
4 goes into 5 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 4

Step 2:
18 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 16 from 18 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 4

Advancing to step 3:
The number 4 fits into 29 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 147.0
If we take 28 away from 29, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 4

Step 4:
4 can be fit into 16 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1474.0
Deduct 16 from 16 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 4

On to step 5:
4 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14741.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
4 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 147412.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 147412.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 147412.0
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.

The final result is 147412.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
