We look at the division of 588881 by 5 
We want to figure out the number of times 588881 can be divided by 5.

Step 1:
5 divided by 5 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 5 away from 5, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 5

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 8 by 5, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 5 from 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 5

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 divided by 5 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtracting 35 from 38 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 5

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 38 by 5, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1177.0
Deduct 35 from 38 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 5

Moving on to step 5:
The number 5 fits into 38 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11777.0
Subtracting 35 from 38 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 5

Going ahead to step 6:
31 divided by 5 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117776.0
If we take 30 away from 31, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 5, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117776.2
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117776.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117776.2
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.

Our division results in 117776.2 with a remaining 0.0.
