We're dividing 988657 by 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 988657 can be divided by 12.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 12

On to step 2:
12 goes into 98 8 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 96 from 98, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 12

On to step 3:
12 goes into 28 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 24 from 28.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 12

Advancing to step 4:
46 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 823.0
If we take 36 away from 46, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 105 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
12 goes into 105 8 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8238.0
Subtract 96 from 105 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 12

Advancing to step 6:
12 goes into 97 8 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82388.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 96 from 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
12 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82388.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 12, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 82388.08
If we subtract 96 from 100, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 82388.083
If we subtract 36 from 40, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
12 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 82388.0833
If we subtract 36 from 40, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 82388.0833, and the remainder is 4e-05.
