We look at the division of 12988711 by 848 
Let's see how many times 848 fits into 12988711.

Step 1:
848 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 848

On to step 2:
848 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 848

Step 3:
If we divide 129 by 848, we get 0 and a remainder of 129.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 129, we get 129.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 129 and continue: 1298 / 848

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 1298 by 848, we get 1 with a remainder of 450.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 848 from 1298 leaves us with 450.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 450, then repeat: 4508 / 848

Step 5:
848 goes into 4508 5 times with a remainder of 268.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 4240 from 4508 and we're left with 268.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 268, then repeat: 2687 / 848

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 2687 by 848, we get 3 with a remainder of 143.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 153.0
Subtracting 2544 from 2687 leaves us with 143.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 143, then carry on: 1431 / 848

Step 7:
When dividing 1431 by 848, we get 1 with a remainder of 583.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1531.0
If we take 848 away from 1431, we end up with 583.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 583 and repeat the process: 5831 / 848

On to step 8:
The number 848 fits into 5831 6 times, leaving a remainder of 743.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15316.0
Deduct 5088 from 5831 and we're left with 743.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7430, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 7430 by 848, we get 8 and a remainder of 646.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15316.8
If we take 6784 away from 7430, we end up with 646.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
848 goes into 6460 7 times with a remainder of 524.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15316.87
Subtract 5936 from 6460 to get 524.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 5240 by 848, we get 6 with a remainder of 152.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15316.876
Deduct 5088 from 5240 and we're left with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 1520 by 848, we get 1 with a remainder of 672.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15316.8761
If we take 848 away from 1520, we end up with 672.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6720, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 6720 by 848, we get 7 and a remainder of 784.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15316.87617
Subtracting 5936 from 6720 leaves us with 784.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
7840 divided by 848 is 9 with a remainder of 208.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15316.876179
Subtracting 7632 from 7840 leaves us 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.

Step 15:
848 goes into 2080 2 times with a remainder of 384.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15316.8761792
If we take 1696 away from 2080, we end up with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
3840 divided by 848 is 4 with a remainder of 448.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15316.87617924
Deduct 3392 from 3840 and we're left with 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15316.87617924 with a balance of 4.48e-07.
