We look at the division of 84238787 by 998 
We're looking to find how many times 998 goes into 84238787.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 998, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 998

On to step 2:
The number 998 fits into 84 0 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 84 leaves us with 84.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 842 / 998

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 998 fits into 842 0 times, leaving a remainder of 842.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 842 after subtracting 0 from 842.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 842 and repeat the process: 8423 / 998

Step 4:
8423 divided by 998 is 8 with a remainder of 439.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 7984 from 8423 leaves us with 439.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 439 and continue with: 4398 / 998

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 4398 by 998, we get 4 and a remainder of 406.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
Deduct 3992 from 4398 and we're left with 406.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 406, then repeat: 4067 / 998

Going ahead to step 6:
998 can be fit into 4067 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 844.0
Deduct 3992 from 4067 and we're left with 75.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 75 and continue with: 758 / 998

On to step 7:
The number 998 fits into 758 0 times, leaving a remainder of 758.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8440.0
The remainder is 758 after subtracting 0 from 758.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 758 and continue with: 7587 / 998

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 7587 by 998, we get 7 with a remainder of 601.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 84407.0
The remainder is 601 after subtracting 6986 from 7587.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6010, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 6010 by 998, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 84407.6
Deduct 5988 from 6010 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 998 fits into 220 0 times, leaving a remainder of 220.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 84407.6
Deduct 0 from 220 and we're left with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 2200 by 998, we get 2 with a remainder of 204.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84407.602
If we take 1996 away from 2200, we end up with 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 998 fits into 2040 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 84407.6022
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 1996 from 2040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 84407.6022, with a leftover of 0.00044.
