Let's divide 988540 by 57
Our goal is to divide 988540 by 57.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 57

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 57, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 57 away from 98, we end up with 41.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 418 / 57

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 418 by 57, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 399 from 418 to get 19.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 195 / 57

Moving on to step 4:
195 divided by 57 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtracting 171 from 195 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 244 / 57

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 244 by 57, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1734.0
Subtracting 228 from 244 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 160 / 57

Step 6:
When dividing 160 by 57, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17342.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 114 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
460 divided by 57 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17342.8
If we take 456 away from 460, we end up 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.

Step 8:
57 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17342.8
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
57 can be fit into 400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17342.807
If we subtract 399 from 400, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 10 by 57, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17342.807
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 57, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17342.80701
Subtracting 57 from 100 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 430 by 57, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17342.807017
Deduct 399 from 430 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 310 by 57, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17342.8070175
Deduct 285 from 310 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
57 can be fit into 250 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17342.80701754
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 228 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17342.80701754 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
