We look at the division of 20855302 by 988 
We're looking to find how many times 988 goes into 20855302.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 988

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 988 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 988

On to step 3:
988 goes into 208 0 times with a remainder of 208.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 208, we get 208.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 208, then repeat: 2085 / 988

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 988 fits into 2085 2 times, leaving a remainder of 109.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 1976 from 2085 and we're left with 109.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 109 and repeat the process: 1095 / 988

Advancing to step 5:
1095 divided by 988 is 1 with a remainder of 107.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 988 from 1095 leaves us with 107.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 107 and continue with: 1073 / 988

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1073 by 988, we get 1 and a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 211.0
Subtract 988 from 1073 to get 85.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 85 and continue with: 850 / 988

Advancing to step 7:
850 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 850.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2110.0
Subtracting 0 from 850 leaves us with 850.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 850, then repeat: 8502 / 988

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 8502 by 988, we get 8 and a remainder of 598.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21108.0
The remainder is 598 after subtracting 7904 from 8502.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 5980 by 988, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21108.6
Subtracting 5928 from 5980 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
520 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 520.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21108.6
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.

Moving on to step 11:
988 can be fit into 5200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 260.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21108.605
The remainder is 260 after subtracting 4940 from 5200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 988 fits into 2600 2 times, leaving a remainder of 624.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21108.6052
Subtract 1976 from 2600 to get 624.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
6240 divided by 988 is 6 with a remainder of 312.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21108.60526
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 3120 by 988, we get 3 and a remainder of 156.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21108.605263
If we subtract 2964 from 3120, we 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.

On to step 15:
988 goes into 1560 1 times with a remainder of 572.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21108.6052631
Subtracting 988 from 1560 leaves us with 572.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 988 fits into 5720 5 times, leaving a remainder of 780.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21108.60526315
If we take 4940 away from 5720, we end up with 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7800, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21108.60526315 with a remaining 7.8e-07.
