We're dividing 582959 by 12 
Our goal is to divide 582959 by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 12

On to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 12, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 48 from 58, we get 10.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 102 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
12 can be fit into 102 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 96 from 102 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 12

Let's proceed to step 4:
12 goes into 69 5 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 485.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 60 from 69.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 95 / 12

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 95 by 12, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4857.0
Subtract 84 from 95 to get 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
12 can be fit into 119 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48579.0
Subtract 108 from 119 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
12 can be fit into 110 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48579.9
If we subtract 108 from 110, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 12, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48579.91
If we subtract 12 from 20, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
80 divided by 12 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48579.916
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
12 goes into 80 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 48579.9166
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 48579.9166 with a remainder of 8e-05.
