We divide 596985 by 11
We're looking to find how many times 11 goes into 596985.

Advancing to step 1:
11 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 11

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 11 fits into 59 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 55 away from 59, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 11

Step 3:
When dividing 46 by 11, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 44 from 46 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 11

On to step 4:
The number 11 fits into 29 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 542.0
If we take 22 away from 29, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 11

Moving on to step 5:
The number 11 fits into 78 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5427.0
Subtracting 77 from 78 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 11

On to step 6:
If we divide 15 by 11, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54271.0
Subtract 11 from 15 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.

Moving on to step 7:
11 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 54271.3
If we subtract 33 from 40, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 11 fits into 70 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54271.36
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 66 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
11 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54271.363
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 33 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 10:
11 goes into 70 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54271.3636
Subtracting 66 from 70 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
11 can be fit into 40 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54271.36363
If we subtract 33 from 40, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
11 can be fit into 70 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54271.363636
If we subtract 66 from 70, we 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.

On to step 13:
11 can be fit into 40 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54271.3636363
Deduct 33 from 40 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 11 fits into 70 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54271.36363636
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 66 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 54271.36363636, with a leftover of 4e-09.
