We look at the division of 4219481 by 998 
We want to divide 4219481 by 998.

Step 1:
998 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 998

Moving on to step 2:
998 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 421 / 998

On to step 3:
The number 998 fits into 421 0 times, leaving a remainder of 421.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 421 and we're left with 421.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 421, then repeat: 4219 / 998

Moving on to step 4:
998 can be fit into 4219 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 227.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3992 from 4219 and we're left with 227.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 227 and continue with: 2274 / 998

Going ahead to step 5:
998 can be fit into 2274 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 278.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 1996 from 2274 and we're left with 278.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 278 and continue with: 2788 / 998

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 998 fits into 2788 2 times, leaving a remainder of 792.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 422.0
Subtracting 1996 from 2788 leaves us with 792.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 792 and continue: 7921 / 998

Step 7:
When dividing 7921 by 998, we get 7 with a remainder of 935.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4227.0
The remainder is 935 after subtracting 6986 from 7921.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9350, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
9350 divided by 998 is 9 with a remainder of 368.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4227.9
If we take 8982 away from 9350, 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 9:
The number 998 fits into 3680 3 times, leaving a remainder of 686.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4227.93
If we subtract 2994 from 3680, we get 686.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
998 can be fit into 6860 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 872.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4227.936
The remainder is 872 after subtracting 5988 from 6860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8720, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
998 goes into 8720 8 times with a remainder of 736.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4227.9368
Deduct 7984 from 8720 and we're left with 736.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 7360 by 998, we get 7 with a remainder of 374.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4227.93687
If we subtract 6986 from 7360, we get 374.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 3740 by 998, we get 3 with a remainder of 746.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4227.936873
Subtract 2994 from 3740 to get 746.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
998 can be fit into 7460 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 474.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4227.9368737
The remainder is 474 after subtracting 6986 from 7460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 4740 by 998, we get 4 with a remainder of 748.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4227.93687374
The remainder is 748 after subtracting 3992 from 4740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4227.93687374 with a remaining 7.48e-07.
