We're dividing 188642 by 99 
We're looking to find how many times 99 goes into 188642.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 99 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 99

Step 2:
99 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 99

Step 3:
188 divided by 99 is 1 with a remainder of 89.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 99 from 188 to get 89.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 89 and continue: 896 / 99

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 896 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 891 away from 896, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 99

Going ahead to step 5:
99 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 190.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 542 / 99

Step 6:
99 can be fit into 542 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1905.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 495 from 542.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
99 goes into 470 4 times with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1905.4
Deduct 396 from 470 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 8:
99 goes into 740 7 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1905.47
Subtracting 693 from 740 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 470 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 74.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1905.474
Subtract 396 from 470 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 740 by 99, we get 7 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1905.4747
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 693 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
99 can be fit into 470 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1905.47474
Subtracting 396 from 470 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 99 fits into 740 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1905.474747
If we take 693 away from 740, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 99 fits into 470 4 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1905.4747474
Subtract 396 from 470 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 14:
99 goes into 740 7 times with a remainder of 47.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1905.47474747
If we subtract 693 from 740, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1905.47474747 with a balance of 4.7e-08.
