We look at the division of 990238 by 7 
We want to figure out the number of times 990238 can be divided by 7.

Step 1:
7 can be fit into 9 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 7 from 9 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 7

Going ahead to step 2:
7 goes into 29 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 28 from 29.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 7

Moving on to step 3:
10 divided by 7 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141.0
Subtracting 7 from 10 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 7

Advancing to step 4:
7 goes into 32 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1414.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 28 from 32.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 7

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 43 by 7, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14146.0
Subtract 42 from 43 to get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 7

Moving on to step 6:
The number 7 fits into 18 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 141462.0
If we take 14 away from 18, 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.

On to step 7:
7 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141462.5
Subtracting 35 from 40 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 7, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141462.57
If we take 49 away from 50, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
7 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141462.571
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 7 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
7 can be fit into 30 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 141462.5714
Deduct 28 from 30 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 7, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 141462.57142
Deduct 14 from 20 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
7 goes into 60 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 141462.571428
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left 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 13:
If we divide 40 by 7, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 141462.5714285
If we take 35 away from 40, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
7 goes into 50 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 141462.57142857
If we take 49 away from 50, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 141462.57142857 with a remainder of 1e-09.
