We look at the division of 4431988 by 981 
Let's see how many times 981 fits into 4431988.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 981, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 981

Step 2:
If we divide 44 by 981, we get 0 and a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 0 from 44.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 443 / 981

On to step 3:
443 divided by 981 is 0 with a remainder of 443.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 443, we get 443.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 443 and repeat the process: 4431 / 981

On to step 4:
981 can be fit into 4431 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 507.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3924 from 4431 and we're left with 507.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 507, then repeat: 5079 / 981

Step 5:
981 can be fit into 5079 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 174.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 4905 from 5079 and we're left with 174.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 174, then repeat: 1748 / 981

Step 6:
The number 981 fits into 1748 1 times, leaving a remainder of 767.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 451.0
If we subtract 981 from 1748, we get 767.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 767, then carry on: 7678 / 981

On to step 7:
The number 981 fits into 7678 7 times, leaving a remainder of 811.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4517.0
Deduct 6867 from 7678 and we're left with 811.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8110, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 8110 by 981, we get 8 with a remainder of 262.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4517.8
The remainder is 262 after subtracting 7848 from 8110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 2620 by 981, we get 2 with a remainder of 658.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4517.82
If we subtract 1962 from 2620, we get 658.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
6580 divided by 981 is 6 with a remainder of 694.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4517.826
Subtracting 5886 from 6580 leaves us with 694.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 6940 by 981, we get 7 and a remainder of 73.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4517.8267
If we subtract 6867 from 6940, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
730 divided by 981 is 0 with a remainder of 730.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4517.8267
Deduct 0 from 730 and we're left with 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
981 goes into 7300 7 times with a remainder of 433.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4517.826707
Subtract 6867 from 7300 to get 433.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 4330 by 981, we get 4 and a remainder of 406.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4517.8267074
If we take 3924 away from 4330, we end up with 406.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 4060 by 981, we get 4 with a remainder of 136.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4517.82670744
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 3924 from 4060.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4517.82670744, with a leftover of 1.36e-07.
