We divide 286496 by 99
We want to figure out the number of times 286496 can be divided by 99.

Advancing to step 1:
99 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 99

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 286 / 99

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 286 by 99, we get 2 with a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 198 from 286 to get 88.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 88, then repeat: 884 / 99

Step 4:
If we divide 884 by 99, we get 8 and a remainder of 92.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 792 from 884 and we're left with 92.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 92, then repeat: 929 / 99

On to step 5:
When dividing 929 by 99, we get 9 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 289.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 891 from 929.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 386 / 99

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 386 by 99, we get 3 and a remainder of 89.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2893.0
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 297 from 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
890 divided by 99 is 8 with a remainder of 98.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2893.8
The remainder is 98 after subtracting 792 from 890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
980 divided by 99 is 9 with a remainder of 89.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2893.89
If we subtract 891 from 980, we get 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
99 can be fit into 890 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 98.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2893.898
If we take 792 away from 890, we end up with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 980 by 99, we get 9 with a remainder of 89.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2893.8989
If we subtract 891 from 980, we get 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
99 goes into 890 8 times with a remainder of 98.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2893.89898
If we subtract 792 from 890, we get 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
99 goes into 980 9 times with a remainder of 89.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2893.898989
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 891 from 980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 99 fits into 890 8 times, leaving a remainder of 98.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2893.8989898
The remainder is 98 after subtracting 792 from 890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 980 by 99, we get 9 and a remainder of 89.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2893.89898989
If we take 891 away from 980, we end up with 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2893.89898989 with a balance of 8.9e-08.
