We're dividing 30898117 by 988 
Let's see how many times 988 fits into 30898117.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 988

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 30 by 988, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 308 / 988

Moving on to step 3:
308 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 308.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 308, we end up with 308.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 308, then repeat: 3089 / 988

Moving on to step 4:
The number 988 fits into 3089 3 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 2964 from 3089 leaves us with 125.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 125 and repeat the process: 1258 / 988

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 988 fits into 1258 1 times, leaving a remainder of 270.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 988 from 1258 leaves us with 270.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 270, then carry on: 2701 / 988

On to step 6:
If we divide 2701 by 988, we get 2 and a remainder of 725.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 312.0
If we subtract 1976 from 2701, we get 725.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 725 and repeat the process: 7251 / 988

Advancing to step 7:
7251 divided by 988 is 7 with a remainder of 335.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3127.0
Subtract 6916 from 7251 to get 335.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 335, then carry on: 3357 / 988

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 3357 by 988, we get 3 with a remainder of 393.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31273.0
The remainder is 393 after subtracting 2964 from 3357.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3930, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 988 fits into 3930 3 times, leaving a remainder of 966.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 31273.3
If we take 2964 away from 3930, we end up with 966.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 988 fits into 9660 9 times, leaving a remainder of 768.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31273.39
If we subtract 8892 from 9660, we get 768.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7680, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
7680 divided by 988 is 7 with a remainder of 764.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31273.397
Subtract 6916 from 7680 to get 764.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 988 fits into 7640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 724.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31273.3977
Deduct 6916 from 7640 and we're left with 724.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7240, and continue the process.

The final result is 31273.3977 with a remainder of 0.00724.
