We divide 11982872 by 497
Our goal is to divide 11982872 by 497.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 497 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 497

Moving on to step 2:
11 divided by 497 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 497

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 119 by 497, we get 0 with a remainder of 119.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 119 leaves us with 119.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 119 and repeat the process: 1198 / 497

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1198 by 497, we get 2 with a remainder of 204.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 994 from 1198, we get 204.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 204, then carry on: 2042 / 497

On to step 5:
The number 497 fits into 2042 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 1988 away from 2042, we end up with 54.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 548 / 497

Going ahead to step 6:
497 goes into 548 1 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 241.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 497 from 548.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 517 / 497

On to step 7:
When dividing 517 by 497, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2411.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 497 from 517.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 202 / 497

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 202 by 497, we get 0 with a remainder of 202.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24110.0
Deduct 0 from 202 and we're left with 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
497 can be fit into 2020 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24110.4
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 1988 from 2020.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
320 divided by 497 is 0 with a remainder of 320.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24110.4
Subtracting 0 from 320 leaves us with 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 3200 by 497, we get 6 and a remainder of 218.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24110.406
If we take 2982 away from 3200, we end up with 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 2180 by 497, we get 4 with a remainder of 192.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24110.4064
Deduct 1988 from 2180 and we're left with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Step 13:
497 goes into 1920 3 times with a remainder of 429.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24110.40643
If we take 1491 away from 1920, we end up with 429.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
4290 divided by 497 is 8 with a remainder of 314.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24110.406438
Deduct 3976 from 4290 and we're left with 314.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
497 goes into 3140 6 times with a remainder of 158.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24110.4064386
Deduct 2982 from 3140 and we're left with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 497 fits into 1580 3 times, leaving a remainder of 89.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 24110.40643863
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 1491 from 1580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 24110.40643863, and the remainder is 8.9e-08.
