589596 ÷ 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 589596 can be divided by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 12

Going ahead to step 2:
12 goes into 58 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 48 from 58.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 109 / 12

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 109 by 12, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 108 from 109 to get 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 15 by 12, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 491.0
Deduct 12 from 15 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 12

On to step 5:
The number 12 fits into 39 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4913.0
Subtract 36 from 39 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 12

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 36 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49133.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 36 from 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 12 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49133.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49133.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 49133.0 with a balance of 0.0.
