We're dividing 1459965 by 587 
We want to divide 1459965 by 587.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 587 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 587

Step 2:
587 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 587

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 145 by 587, we get 0 and a remainder of 145.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 145 leaves us with 145.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 145 and continue: 1459 / 587

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1459 by 587, we get 2 with a remainder of 285.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1174 away from 1459, we end up with 285.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 285 and continue with: 2859 / 587

On to step 5:
587 goes into 2859 4 times with a remainder of 511.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 2348 from 2859, we get 511.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 511, then carry on: 5116 / 587

Step 6:
587 can be fit into 5116 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 420.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 248.0
Deduct 4696 from 5116 and we're left with 420.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 420 and repeat the process: 4205 / 587

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 4205 by 587, we get 7 with a remainder of 96.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2487.0
If we subtract 4109 from 4205, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
960 divided by 587 is 1 with a remainder of 373.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2487.1
Subtracting 587 from 960 leaves us with 373.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3730, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 3730 by 587, we get 6 and a remainder of 208.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2487.16
The remainder is 208 after subtracting 3522 from 3730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 2080 by 587, we get 3 with a remainder of 319.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2487.163
If we take 1761 away from 2080, we end up with 319.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 587 fits into 3190 5 times, leaving a remainder of 255.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2487.1635
If we subtract 2935 from 3190, we get 255.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 587 fits into 2550 4 times, leaving a remainder of 202.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2487.16354
Subtracting 2348 from 2550 leaves us with 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 2020 by 587, we get 3 and a remainder of 259.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2487.163543
The remainder is 259 after subtracting 1761 from 2020.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2590, and continue the process.

Step 14:
587 can be fit into 2590 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 242.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2487.1635434
If we subtract 2348 from 2590, we get 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
587 can be fit into 2420 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2487.16354344
If we take 2348 away from 2420, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2487.16354344 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
