We're dividing 23852147 by 988 
We're looking to find how many times 988 goes into 23852147.

Step 1:
The number 988 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 988

Moving on to step 2:
The number 988 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 988

Going ahead to step 3:
988 can be fit into 238 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 238.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 238 after subtracting 0 from 238.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 238, then carry on: 2385 / 988

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 2385 by 988, we get 2 with a remainder of 409.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1976 from 2385 to get 409.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 409 and continue: 4092 / 988

On to step 5:
When dividing 4092 by 988, we get 4 with a remainder of 140.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 3952 away from 4092, we end up with 140.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 140, then carry on: 1401 / 988

Going ahead to step 6:
1401 divided by 988 is 1 with a remainder of 413.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 241.0
Subtracting 988 from 1401 leaves us with 413.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 413 and continue with: 4134 / 988

Going ahead to step 7:
988 can be fit into 4134 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 182.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2414.0
If we take 3952 away from 4134, we end up with 182.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 182 and continue: 1827 / 988

On to step 8:
1827 divided by 988 is 1 with a remainder of 839.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 24141.0
If we subtract 988 from 1827, we get 839.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 8390 by 988, we get 8 with a remainder of 486.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24141.8
Subtract 7904 from 8390 to get 486.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 4860 by 988, we get 4 with a remainder of 908.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24141.84
Deduct 3952 from 4860 and we're left with 908.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9080, and continue the process.

Step 11:
9080 divided by 988 is 9 with a remainder of 188.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24141.849
If we take 8892 away from 9080, we end up with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 1880 by 988, we get 1 and a remainder of 892.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24141.8491
Subtracting 988 from 1880 leaves us with 892.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
8920 divided by 988 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24141.84919
Subtracting 8892 from 8920 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 988 fits into 280 0 times, leaving a remainder of 280.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24141.84919
Subtract 0 from 280 to get 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 2800 by 988, we get 2 with a remainder of 824.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24141.8491902
If we take 1976 away from 2800, we end up with 824.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8240, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 988 fits into 8240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 336.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24141.84919028
If we take 7904 away from 8240, we end up with 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

The final result is 24141.84919028 with a remainder of 3.36e-07.
