We look at the division of 2994987 by 238 
We want to figure out the number of times 2994987 can be divided by 238.

Advancing to step 1:
238 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 238

On to step 2:
238 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 299 / 238

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 299 by 238, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 238 from 299 and we're left with 61.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 614 / 238

Let's proceed to step 4:
238 can be fit into 614 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 138.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 476 from 614, we get 138.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 138, then carry on: 1389 / 238

Advancing to step 5:
238 goes into 1389 5 times with a remainder of 199.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtract 1190 from 1389 to get 199.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 199, then repeat: 1998 / 238

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 1998 by 238, we get 8 and a remainder of 94.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1258.0
If we subtract 1904 from 1998, we get 94.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 94 and repeat the process: 947 / 238

Advancing to step 7:
238 can be fit into 947 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 233.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12583.0
If we take 714 away from 947, we end up with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 2330 by 238, we get 9 with a remainder of 188.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12583.9
The remainder is 188 after subtracting 2142 from 2330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 1880 by 238, we get 7 and a remainder of 214.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12583.97
Subtract 1666 from 1880 to get 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 2140 by 238, we get 8 with a remainder of 236.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12583.978
Deduct 1904 from 2140 and we're left with 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 2360 by 238, we get 9 with a remainder of 218.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12583.9789
Subtract 2142 from 2360 to get 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
238 goes into 2180 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12583.97899
If we subtract 2142 from 2180, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12583.97899, and the remainder is 3.8e-05.
