Let's divide 12209888 by 996
We want to figure out the number of times 12209888 can be divided by 996.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 996, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 996

Moving on to step 2:
996 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 996

Step 3:
122 divided by 996 is 0 with a remainder of 122.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 122 to get 122.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 122, then repeat: 1220 / 996

Advancing to step 4:
The number 996 fits into 1220 1 times, leaving a remainder of 224.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 996 from 1220, we get 224.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 224 and continue with: 2249 / 996

Advancing to step 5:
996 goes into 2249 2 times with a remainder of 257.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 1992 from 2249, we get 257.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 257 and continue with: 2578 / 996

Moving on to step 6:
The number 996 fits into 2578 2 times, leaving a remainder of 586.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtracting 1992 from 2578 leaves us with 586.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 586 and continue: 5868 / 996

Step 7:
The number 996 fits into 5868 5 times, leaving a remainder of 888.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1225.0
If we subtract 4980 from 5868, we get 888.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 888, then repeat: 8888 / 996

Let's proceed to step 8:
996 goes into 8888 8 times with a remainder of 920.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12258.0
Subtract 7968 from 8888 to get 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 9200 by 996, we get 9 with a remainder of 236.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12258.9
If we take 8964 away from 9200, we end up with 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
2360 divided by 996 is 2 with a remainder of 368.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12258.92
If we take 1992 away from 2360, we end up with 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
996 goes into 3680 3 times with a remainder of 692.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12258.923
If we take 2988 away from 3680, we end up with 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
6920 divided by 996 is 6 with a remainder of 944.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12258.9236
Subtracting 5976 from 6920 leaves us with 944.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
9440 divided by 996 is 9 with a remainder of 476.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12258.92369
Deduct 8964 from 9440 and we're left with 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 4760 by 996, we get 4 with a remainder of 776.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12258.923694
Deduct 3984 from 4760 and we're left with 776.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

Step 15:
996 goes into 7760 7 times with a remainder of 788.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12258.9236947
If we subtract 6972 from 7760, we get 788.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
7880 divided by 996 is 7 with a remainder of 908.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12258.92369477
The remainder is 908 after subtracting 6972 from 7880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9080, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12258.92369477 with a balance of 9.08e-07.
