73908987 ÷ 498 
Let's see how many times 498 fits into 73908987.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 498 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 498

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 498 fits into 73 0 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 739 / 498

On to step 3:
739 divided by 498 is 1 with a remainder of 241.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 241 after subtracting 498 from 739.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 241 and continue: 2410 / 498

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 2410 by 498, we get 4 with a remainder of 418.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 418 after subtracting 1992 from 2410.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 418, then repeat: 4188 / 498

Going ahead to step 5:
498 goes into 4188 8 times with a remainder of 204.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148.0
The remainder is 204 after subtracting 3984 from 4188.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 204, then repeat: 2049 / 498

Moving on to step 6:
2049 divided by 498 is 4 with a remainder of 57.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1484.0
If we take 1992 away from 2049, we end up with 57.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 578 / 498

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 578 by 498, we get 1 with a remainder of 80.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14841.0
If we subtract 498 from 578, we get 80.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 80 and repeat the process: 807 / 498

On to step 8:
498 can be fit into 807 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 309.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148411.0
Subtracting 498 from 807 leaves us with 309.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3090, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
498 can be fit into 3090 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 102.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 148411.6
Subtract 2988 from 3090 to get 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 498 fits into 1020 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 148411.62
If we subtract 996 from 1020, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
498 goes into 240 0 times with a remainder of 240.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 148411.62
The remainder is 240 after subtracting 0 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
498 can be fit into 2400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 408.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148411.6204
The remainder is 408 after subtracting 1992 from 2400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 498 fits into 4080 8 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148411.62048
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 3984 from 4080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 498 fits into 960 1 times, leaving a remainder of 462.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148411.620481
Deduct 498 from 960 and we're left with 462.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

Step 15:
498 can be fit into 4620 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 138.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148411.6204819
If we take 4482 away from 4620, we end up with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 1380 by 498, we get 2 and a remainder of 384.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 148411.62048192
The remainder is 384 after subtracting 996 from 1380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Our division results in 148411.62048192 with a remaining 3.84e-07.
