Let's divide 87877879 by 498
We're looking to find how many times 498 goes into 87877879.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 498, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 498

Advancing to step 2:
The number 498 fits into 87 0 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 87 and we're left with 87.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 87 and continue with: 878 / 498

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 878 by 498, we get 1 and a remainder of 380.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 498 away from 878, we end up with 380.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 380 and continue with: 3807 / 498

Let's proceed to step 4:
498 can be fit into 3807 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 321.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 321 after subtracting 3486 from 3807.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 321 and continue with: 3217 / 498

Step 5:
When dividing 3217 by 498, we get 6 with a remainder of 229.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtracting 2988 from 3217 leaves us with 229.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 229 and repeat the process: 2298 / 498

Step 6:
If we divide 2298 by 498, we get 4 and a remainder of 306.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1764.0
The remainder is 306 after subtracting 1992 from 2298.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 306, then carry on: 3067 / 498

Advancing to step 7:
498 goes into 3067 6 times with a remainder of 79.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17646.0
Subtract 2988 from 3067 to get 79.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 79, then repeat: 799 / 498

Going ahead to step 8:
498 can be fit into 799 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 301.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176461.0
If we subtract 498 from 799, we get 301.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3010, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 498 fits into 3010 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176461.6
If we take 2988 away from 3010, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
498 goes into 220 0 times with a remainder of 220.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176461.6
Subtracting 0 from 220 leaves us with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 2200 by 498, we get 4 and a remainder of 208.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176461.604
Deduct 1992 from 2200 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.

On to step 12:
2080 divided by 498 is 4 with a remainder of 88.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176461.6044
The remainder is 88 after subtracting 1992 from 2080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Our division results in 176461.6044 with a remaining 0.00088.
