We divide 510263 by 988
We want to divide 510263 by 988.

Let's proceed to step 1:
988 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 988

On to step 2:
51 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 0 from 51.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 510 / 988

On to step 3:
If we divide 510 by 988, we get 0 and a remainder of 510.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 510, we end up with 510.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 510 and repeat the process: 5102 / 988

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 5102 by 988, we get 5 with a remainder of 162.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4940 from 5102, we get 162.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 162, then repeat: 1626 / 988

Let's proceed to step 5:
988 can be fit into 1626 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 638.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 988 from 1626 to get 638.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 638, then carry on: 6383 / 988

Step 6:
6383 divided by 988 is 6 with a remainder of 455.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 516.0
The remainder is 455 after subtracting 5928 from 6383.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4550, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 4550 by 988, we get 4 and a remainder of 598.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 516.4
The remainder is 598 after subtracting 3952 from 4550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 5980 by 988, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 516.46
Deduct 5928 from 5980 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
988 can be fit into 520 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 520.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 516.46
Deduct 0 from 520 and we're left with 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
988 can be fit into 5200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 260.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 516.4605
If we subtract 4940 from 5200, we get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 2600 by 988, we get 2 with a remainder of 624.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 516.46052
The remainder is 624 after subtracting 1976 from 2600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
988 can be fit into 6240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 312.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 516.460526
If we take 5928 away from 6240, we end up with 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 3120 by 988, we get 3 with a remainder of 156.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 516.4605263
Subtract 2964 from 3120 to get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
988 can be fit into 1560 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 572.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 516.46052631
If we subtract 988 from 1560, we get 572.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 516.46052631 with a balance of 5.72e-07.
