72986467 ÷ 988 
Let's see how many times 988 fits into 72986467.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 988, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 988

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 729 / 988

Moving on to step 3:
988 can be fit into 729 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 729.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 729, we get 729.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 729 and continue with: 7298 / 988

On to step 4:
When dividing 7298 by 988, we get 7 with a remainder of 382.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 382 after subtracting 6916 from 7298.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 382 and repeat the process: 3826 / 988

Step 5:
988 can be fit into 3826 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 862.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 73.0
The remainder is 862 after subtracting 2964 from 3826.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 862 and continue: 8624 / 988

Step 6:
8624 divided by 988 is 8 with a remainder of 720.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 738.0
The remainder is 720 after subtracting 7904 from 8624.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 720, then carry on: 7206 / 988

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 7206 by 988, we get 7 and a remainder of 290.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7387.0
Subtracting 6916 from 7206 leaves us with 290.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 290, then carry on: 2907 / 988

Advancing to step 8:
988 goes into 2907 2 times with a remainder of 931.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73872.0
Subtracting 1976 from 2907 leaves us with 931.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 9310 by 988, we get 9 with a remainder of 418.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73872.9
Subtracting 8892 from 9310 leaves us with 418.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
988 goes into 4180 4 times with a remainder of 228.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73872.94
The remainder is 228 after subtracting 3952 from 4180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Step 11:
2280 divided by 988 is 2 with a remainder of 304.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73872.942
The remainder is 304 after subtracting 1976 from 2280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
988 goes into 3040 3 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73872.9423
If we subtract 2964 from 3040, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
988 can be fit into 760 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 760.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73872.9423
If we take 0 away from 760, we end up with 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 988 fits into 7600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 684.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73872.942307
Deduct 6916 from 7600 and we're left with 684.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 988 fits into 6840 6 times, leaving a remainder of 912.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73872.9423076
If we take 5928 away from 6840, we end up 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.

On to step 16:
9120 divided by 988 is 9 with a remainder of 228.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73872.94230769
Subtract 8892 from 9120 to get 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 73872.94230769, with a leftover of 2.28e-07.
