Let's divide 1988568 by 509
We want to figure out the number of times 1988568 can be divided by 509.

Let's proceed to step 1:
509 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 509

Moving on to step 2:
19 divided by 509 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 509

On to step 3:
If we divide 198 by 509, we get 0 and a remainder of 198.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 198, we end up with 198.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 198 and continue: 1988 / 509

Moving on to step 4:
509 goes into 1988 3 times with a remainder of 461.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 461 after subtracting 1527 from 1988.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 461 and repeat the process: 4615 / 509

Advancing to step 5:
509 can be fit into 4615 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we subtract 4581 from 4615, we get 34.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 346 / 509

On to step 6:
The number 509 fits into 346 0 times, leaving a remainder of 346.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 390.0
The remainder is 346 after subtracting 0 from 346.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 346 and repeat the process: 3468 / 509

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 3468 by 509, we get 6 with a remainder of 414.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3906.0
Subtracting 3054 from 3468 leaves us with 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
4140 divided by 509 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3906.8
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 4072 from 4140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 680 by 509, we get 1 and a remainder of 171.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3906.81
Deduct 509 from 680 and we're left with 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
509 goes into 1710 3 times with a remainder of 183.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3906.813
Subtract 1527 from 1710 to get 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
509 goes into 1830 3 times with a remainder of 303.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3906.8133
Subtracting 1527 from 1830 leaves us with 303.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3030, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3906.8133, and the remainder is 0.00303.
