We're dividing 988238 by 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 988238 can be divided by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 12

Advancing to step 2:
98 divided by 12 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 96 from 98, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 12

Step 3:
The number 12 fits into 28 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we subtract 24 from 28, we get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 12

Step 4:
12 can be fit into 42 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 823.0
Subtracting 36 from 42 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 12

On to step 5:
When dividing 63 by 12, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8235.0
Subtracting 60 from 63 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 12

Step 6:
When dividing 38 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82353.0
Subtracting 36 from 38 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
20 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82353.1
If we take 12 away from 20, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
80 divided by 12 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 82353.16
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
12 can be fit into 80 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82353.166
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 82353.166 with a remaining 0.0008.
