We're dividing 608994 by 986 
We want to divide 608994 by 986.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 986 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 986

On to step 2:
60 divided by 986 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 608 / 986

Step 3:
If we divide 608 by 986, we get 0 and a remainder of 608.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 608 leaves us with 608.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 608, then repeat: 6089 / 986

On to step 4:
The number 986 fits into 6089 6 times, leaving a remainder of 173.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 5916 from 6089 and we're left with 173.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 173 and continue with: 1739 / 986

Moving on to step 5:
1739 divided by 986 is 1 with a remainder of 753.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 986 from 1739 to get 753.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 753 and repeat the process: 7534 / 986

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 986 fits into 7534 7 times, leaving a remainder of 632.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 617.0
Subtracting 6902 from 7534 leaves us with 632.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 6320 by 986, we get 6 with a remainder of 404.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 617.6
Subtract 5916 from 6320 to get 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 4040 by 986, we get 4 and a remainder of 96.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 617.64
If we take 3944 away from 4040, we end up with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 960 by 986, we get 0 and a remainder of 960.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 617.64
Subtract 0 from 960 to get 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 986 fits into 9600 9 times, leaving a remainder of 726.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 617.6409
If we subtract 8874 from 9600, we get 726.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 986 fits into 7260 7 times, leaving a remainder of 358.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 617.64097
If we take 6902 away from 7260, we end up with 358.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
986 can be fit into 3580 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 622.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 617.640973
The remainder is 622 after subtracting 2958 from 3580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 6220 by 986, we get 6 with a remainder of 304.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 617.6409736
If we take 5916 away from 6220, we end up with 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
986 can be fit into 3040 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 617.64097363
Deduct 2958 from 3040 and we're left with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 617.64097363 with a balance of 8.2e-08.
