We divide 596279 by 5
We want to divide 596279 by 5.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 5 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 5 from 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 5

Let's proceed to step 2:
9 divided by 5 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 5 from 9 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 5

On to step 3:
When dividing 46 by 5, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 45 from 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 5

Let's proceed to step 4:
5 can be fit into 12 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1192.0
Subtract 10 from 12 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 5

Step 5:
If we divide 27 by 5, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11925.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 25 from 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 5

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 29 by 5, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119255.0
Subtract 25 from 29 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 40 by 5, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119255.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 40 from 40.
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:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119255.8
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119255.8
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.

The final result is 119255.8 with a remainder of 0.0.
