We're dividing 588711 by 48 
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 588711.

Moving on to step 1:
48 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 58 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 108 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 96 away from 108, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 127 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 31.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtracting 96 from 127 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 311 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 can be fit into 311 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1226.0
If we subtract 288 from 311, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 can be fit into 231 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12264.0
Deduct 192 from 231 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
48 goes into 390 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12264.8
Deduct 384 from 390 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
48 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12264.81
If we take 48 away from 60, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
48 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12264.812
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 96 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12264.8125
If we take 240 away from 240, 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 11:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12264.8125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 12:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12264.8125
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12264.8125 with a balance of 0.0.
