39500645 ÷ 988 
We're looking to find how many times 988 goes into 39500645.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 988 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 988

Moving on to step 2:
The number 988 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 395 / 988

Let's proceed to step 3:
988 can be fit into 395 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 395.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 395 to get 395.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 395 and continue: 3950 / 988

Going ahead to step 4:
3950 divided by 988 is 3 with a remainder of 986.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 986 after subtracting 2964 from 3950.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 986, then repeat: 9860 / 988

On to step 5:
The number 988 fits into 9860 9 times, leaving a remainder of 968.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 8892 away from 9860, we end up with 968.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 968 and repeat the process: 9686 / 988

On to step 6:
988 goes into 9686 9 times with a remainder of 794.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 399.0
Subtracting 8892 from 9686 leaves us with 794.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 794, then carry on: 7944 / 988

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 7944 by 988, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3998.0
If we subtract 7904 from 7944, we get 40.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 405 / 988

On to step 8:
988 goes into 405 0 times with a remainder of 405.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 39980.0
Subtracting 0 from 405 leaves us with 405.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4050, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
988 can be fit into 4050 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 98.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39980.4
Deduct 3952 from 4050 and we're left with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
988 goes into 980 0 times with a remainder of 980.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39980.4
The remainder is 980 after subtracting 0 from 980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 9800 by 988, we get 9 with a remainder of 908.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39980.409
The remainder is 908 after subtracting 8892 from 9800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 9080 by 988, we get 9 with a remainder of 188.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39980.4099
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 39980.4099 with a balance of 0.00188.
