1988431 ÷ 188 
We want to divide 1988431 by 188.

Advancing to step 1:
188 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 188

On to step 2:
19 divided by 188 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 188

Advancing to step 3:
The number 188 fits into 198 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 188 away from 198, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 188

Let's proceed to step 4:
188 goes into 108 0 times with a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 108 and we're left with 108.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 108 and continue: 1084 / 188

Moving on to step 5:
188 goes into 1084 5 times with a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 105.0
If we subtract 940 from 1084, we get 144.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 144 and continue with: 1443 / 188

Step 6:
When dividing 1443 by 188, we get 7 with a remainder of 127.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1057.0
If we take 1316 away from 1443, we end up with 127.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 127 and continue with: 1271 / 188

Let's proceed to step 7:
188 can be fit into 1271 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 143.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10576.0
The remainder is 143 after subtracting 1128 from 1271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 1430 by 188, we get 7 and a remainder of 114.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10576.7
If we take 1316 away from 1430, we end up with 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 188 fits into 1140 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10576.76
Subtract 1128 from 1140 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
120 divided by 188 is 0 with a remainder of 120.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10576.76
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
1200 divided by 188 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10576.7606
Subtract 1128 from 1200 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
188 goes into 720 3 times with a remainder of 156.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10576.76063
If we take 564 away from 720, we end up with 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 13:
188 goes into 1560 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10576.760638
Subtract 1504 from 1560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 560 by 188, we get 2 with a remainder of 184.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10576.7606382
Subtract 376 from 560 to get 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 188 fits into 1840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 148.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10576.76063829
Subtract 1692 from 1840 to get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10576.76063829 and a remainder of 1.48e-07.
