We divide 4198948 by 988
We want to divide 4198948 by 988.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 988

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 41 by 988, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 41 to get 41.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 419 / 988

Let's proceed to step 3:
419 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 419.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 419, we end up with 419.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 419, then carry on: 4198 / 988

Step 4:
4198 divided by 988 is 4 with a remainder of 246.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3952 from 4198, we get 246.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 246, then repeat: 2469 / 988

Advancing to step 5:
2469 divided by 988 is 2 with a remainder of 493.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 493 after subtracting 1976 from 2469.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 493, then carry on: 4934 / 988

Step 6:
If we divide 4934 by 988, we get 4 and a remainder of 982.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 424.0
The remainder is 982 after subtracting 3952 from 4934.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 982, then repeat: 9828 / 988

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 9828 by 988, we get 9 and a remainder of 936.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4249.0
Subtract 8892 from 9828 to get 936.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
9360 divided by 988 is 9 with a remainder of 468.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4249.9
The remainder is 468 after subtracting 8892 from 9360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

Step 9:
4680 divided by 988 is 4 with a remainder of 728.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4249.94
If we take 3952 away from 4680, we end up with 728.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7280, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 7280 by 988, we get 7 with a remainder of 364.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4249.947
Deduct 6916 from 7280 and we're left with 364.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
988 can be fit into 3640 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 676.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4249.9473
The remainder is 676 after subtracting 2964 from 3640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
988 can be fit into 6760 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 832.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4249.94736
Subtract 5928 from 6760 to get 832.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
988 goes into 8320 8 times with a remainder of 416.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4249.947368
Deduct 7904 from 8320 and we're left with 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 4160 by 988, we get 4 with a remainder of 208.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4249.9473684
Deduct 3952 from 4160 and we're left with 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 988 fits into 2080 2 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4249.94736842
Subtract 1976 from 2080 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4249.94736842, with a leftover of 1.04e-07.
