We look at the division of 178849 by 99 
Our goal is to divide 178849 by 99.

On to step 1:
99 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 99

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 99

On to step 3:
The number 99 fits into 178 1 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 99 from 178 to get 79.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 79 and continue: 798 / 99

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 798 by 99, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 792 from 798 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 99

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 64 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 180.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 0 from 64.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 649 / 99

On to step 6:
The number 99 fits into 649 6 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1806.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 594 from 649.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 550 by 99, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1806.5
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 495 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 8:
550 divided by 99 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1806.55
If we take 495 away from 550, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1806.55 and a remainder of 0.055.
