Let's divide 588708 by 4
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 588708.

Step 1:
4 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 4

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 4, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 16 from 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 4

Advancing to step 3:
The number 4 fits into 28 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 147.0
If we subtract 28 from 28, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 4

Step 4:
The number 4 fits into 7 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1471.0
If we subtract 4 from 7, we get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 30 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14717.0
If we subtract 28 from 30, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
4 can be fit into 28 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 147177.0
Deduct 28 from 28 and we're left with 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 7:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 147177.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 147177.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 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 147177.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
