We look at the division of 12877008 by 998 
We're looking to find how many times 998 goes into 12877008.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 998 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 998

Advancing to step 2:
The number 998 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 998

On to step 3:
998 goes into 128 0 times with a remainder of 128.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 128, we get 128.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 128 and continue: 1287 / 998

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1287 by 998, we get 1 and a remainder of 289.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 998 away from 1287, we end up with 289.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 289, then carry on: 2897 / 998

Step 5:
998 can be fit into 2897 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 901.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 1996 from 2897 and we're left with 901.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 901, then repeat: 9010 / 998

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 9010 by 998, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtracting 8982 from 9010 leaves us with 28.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 280 / 998

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 998, we get 0 and a remainder of 280.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1290.0
Subtracting 0 from 280 leaves us with 280.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 280, then carry on: 2808 / 998

On to step 8:
When dividing 2808 by 998, we get 2 with a remainder of 812.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12902.0
If we subtract 1996 from 2808, we get 812.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
998 goes into 8120 8 times with a remainder of 136.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12902.8
If we subtract 7984 from 8120, we get 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
998 goes into 1360 1 times with a remainder of 362.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12902.81
If we subtract 998 from 1360, we get 362.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
3620 divided by 998 is 3 with a remainder of 626.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12902.813
Subtract 2994 from 3620 to get 626.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 6260 by 998, we get 6 and a remainder of 272.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12902.8136
If we subtract 5988 from 6260, we get 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Step 13:
998 can be fit into 2720 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 724.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12902.81362
The remainder is 724 after subtracting 1996 from 2720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 998 fits into 7240 7 times, leaving a remainder of 254.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12902.813627
The remainder is 254 after subtracting 6986 from 7240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 2540 by 998, we get 2 and a remainder of 544.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12902.8136272
Subtracting 1996 from 2540 leaves us with 544.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
998 can be fit into 5440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 450.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12902.81362725
Subtracting 4990 from 5440 leaves us with 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12902.81362725 and a remainder of 4.5e-07.
