We look at the division of 992142 by 502 
We want to figure out the number of times 992142 can be divided by 502.

Moving on to step 1:
502 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 502

Step 2:
The number 502 fits into 99 0 times, leaving a remainder of 99.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 99 to get 99.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 99, then carry on: 992 / 502

Going ahead to step 3:
992 divided by 502 is 1 with a remainder of 490.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 502 from 992 and we're left with 490.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 490, then repeat: 4901 / 502

Step 4:
502 goes into 4901 9 times with a remainder of 383.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 4518 away from 4901, we end up with 383.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 383 and repeat the process: 3834 / 502

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 3834 by 502, we get 7 with a remainder of 320.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 197.0
If we take 3514 away from 3834, we end up with 320.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 320 and continue with: 3202 / 502

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 502 fits into 3202 6 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1976.0
If we subtract 3012 from 3202, we get 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 1900 by 502, we get 3 with a remainder of 394.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1976.3
The remainder is 394 after subtracting 1506 from 1900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
3940 divided by 502 is 7 with a remainder of 426.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1976.37
Subtract 3514 from 3940 to get 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
502 goes into 4260 8 times with a remainder of 244.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1976.378
If we subtract 4016 from 4260, we get 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
2440 divided by 502 is 4 with a remainder of 432.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1976.3784
Deduct 2008 from 2440 and we're left with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 4320 by 502, we get 8 with a remainder of 304.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1976.37848
If we subtract 4016 from 4320, we get 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
502 can be fit into 3040 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1976.378486
Subtracting 3012 from 3040 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
502 goes into 280 0 times with a remainder of 280.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1976.378486
Subtract 0 from 280 to get 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
2800 divided by 502 is 5 with a remainder of 290.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1976.37848605
If we take 2510 away from 2800, we end up with 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1976.37848605 with a balance of 2.9e-07.
