Let's divide 5235506 by 988
We want to divide 5235506 by 988.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 988 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 988

Let's proceed to step 2:
988 goes into 52 0 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 52 and we're left with 52.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 523 / 988

Step 3:
988 can be fit into 523 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 523.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 523, we end up with 523.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 523, then repeat: 5235 / 988

Step 4:
The number 988 fits into 5235 5 times, leaving a remainder of 295.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 4940 from 5235 and we're left with 295.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 295, then repeat: 2955 / 988

Moving on to step 5:
988 can be fit into 2955 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 979.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 979 after subtracting 1976 from 2955.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 979 and continue: 9790 / 988

On to step 6:
988 can be fit into 9790 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 898.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 529.0
Subtracting 8892 from 9790 leaves us with 898.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 898 and repeat the process: 8986 / 988

Moving on to step 7:
988 goes into 8986 9 times with a remainder of 94.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5299.0
Subtracting 8892 from 8986 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
988 goes into 940 0 times with a remainder of 940.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5299.0
Deduct 0 from 940 and we're left with 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
988 goes into 9400 9 times with a remainder of 508.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5299.09
Deduct 8892 from 9400 and we're left with 508.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 5080 by 988, we get 5 with a remainder of 140.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5299.095
If we subtract 4940 from 5080, we get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1400 by 988, we get 1 and a remainder of 412.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5299.0951
Subtract 988 from 1400 to get 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 4120 by 988, we get 4 with a remainder of 168.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5299.09514
Deduct 3952 from 4120 and we're left with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
988 can be fit into 1680 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 692.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5299.095141
Deduct 988 from 1680 and we're left with 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 6920 by 988, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5299.0951417
If we take 6916 away from 6920, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 988 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5299.0951417
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 5299.0951417 with a remainder of 4e-08.
