Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 992

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 992, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 285 / 992

On to step 3:
285 divided by 992 is 0 with a remainder of 285.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 285 to get 285.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 285 and continue: 2859 / 992

On to step 4:
992 goes into 2859 2 times with a remainder of 875.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 1984 from 2859 and we're left with 875.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 875, then repeat: 8759 / 992

Advancing to step 5:
992 can be fit into 8759 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 823.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 823 after subtracting 7936 from 8759.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 823, then repeat: 8239 / 992

On to step 6:
8239 divided by 992 is 8 with a remainder of 303.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288.0
The remainder is 303 after subtracting 7936 from 8239.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 303 and continue: 3037 / 992

Let's proceed to step 7:
992 can be fit into 3037 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2883.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 2976 from 3037.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 610 by 992, we get 0 with a remainder of 610.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2883.0
Deduct 0 from 610 and we're left with 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 992 fits into 6100 6 times, leaving a remainder of 148.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2883.06
The remainder is 148 after subtracting 5952 from 6100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 1480 by 992, we get 1 and a remainder of 488.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2883.061
If we subtract 992 from 1480, we get 488.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
4880 divided by 992 is 4 with a remainder of 912.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2883.0614
Subtracting 3968 from 4880 leaves us with 912.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 9120 by 992, we get 9 with a remainder of 192.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2883.06149
Subtract 8928 from 9120 to get 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 992 fits into 1920 1 times, leaving a remainder of 928.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2883.061491
The remainder is 928 after subtracting 992 from 1920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
992 can be fit into 9280 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 352.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2883.0614919
Subtract 8928 from 9280 to get 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
992 goes into 3520 3 times with a remainder of 544.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2883.06149193
The remainder is 544 after subtracting 2976 from 3520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2883.06149193 with a balance of 5.44e-07.
