We look at the division of 2215998 by 497 
We're looking to find how many times 497 goes into 2215998.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 497 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 497

Step 2:
When dividing 22 by 497, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 221 / 497

Step 3:
497 goes into 221 0 times with a remainder of 221.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 221, we get 221.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 221, then carry on: 2215 / 497

Step 4:
497 can be fit into 2215 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 227.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 227 after subtracting 1988 from 2215.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 227 and continue with: 2279 / 497

Let's proceed to step 5:
2279 divided by 497 is 4 with a remainder of 291.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 1988 from 2279 leaves us with 291.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 291 and continue: 2919 / 497

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2919 by 497, we get 5 and a remainder of 434.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 445.0
If we subtract 2485 from 2919, we get 434.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 434, then repeat: 4348 / 497

Let's proceed to step 7:
4348 divided by 497 is 8 with a remainder of 372.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4458.0
If we subtract 3976 from 4348, we get 372.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3720, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 3720 by 497, we get 7 with a remainder of 241.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4458.7
If we subtract 3479 from 3720, we get 241.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 2410 by 497, we get 4 with a remainder of 422.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4458.74
If we subtract 1988 from 2410, we get 422.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
497 can be fit into 4220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 244.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4458.748
Subtracting 3976 from 4220 leaves us with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
497 goes into 2440 4 times with a remainder of 452.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4458.7484
Subtract 1988 from 2440 to get 452.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4520, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 497 fits into 4520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4458.74849
If we subtract 4473 from 4520, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 497 fits into 470 0 times, leaving a remainder of 470.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4458.74849
If we take 0 away from 470, we end up with 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4700, and continue the process.

Step 14:
497 can be fit into 4700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 227.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4458.7484909
Deduct 4473 from 4700 and we're left with 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
497 goes into 2270 4 times with a remainder of 282.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4458.74849094
Deduct 1988 from 2270 and we're left with 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4458.74849094 with a balance of 2.82e-07.
