We're dividing 16692987 by 299 
Our goal is to divide 16692987 by 299.

Let's proceed to step 1:
299 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 299

Going ahead to step 2:
16 divided by 299 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 166 / 299

Advancing to step 3:
166 divided by 299 is 0 with a remainder of 166.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 166, we end up with 166.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 166, then repeat: 1669 / 299

On to step 4:
The number 299 fits into 1669 5 times, leaving a remainder of 174.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 1495 from 1669 to get 174.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 174, then carry on: 1742 / 299

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 1742 by 299, we get 5 with a remainder of 247.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 1495 from 1742 to get 247.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 247, then carry on: 2479 / 299

Moving on to step 6:
The number 299 fits into 2479 8 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 558.0
Subtract 2392 from 2479 to get 87.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 878 / 299

Step 7:
299 goes into 878 2 times with a remainder of 280.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5582.0
If we take 598 away from 878, we end up with 280.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 280 and continue: 2807 / 299

Advancing to step 8:
The number 299 fits into 2807 9 times, leaving a remainder of 116.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55829.0
Subtract 2691 from 2807 to get 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 299 fits into 1160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 263.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55829.3
If we subtract 897 from 1160, we get 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
299 can be fit into 2630 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 238.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55829.38
Deduct 2392 from 2630 and we're left with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 299 fits into 2380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 287.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 55829.387
If we take 2093 away from 2380, we end up with 287.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2870, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 299 fits into 2870 9 times, leaving a remainder of 179.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55829.3879
If we take 2691 away from 2870, we end up with 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
1790 divided by 299 is 5 with a remainder of 295.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55829.38795
The remainder is 295 after subtracting 1495 from 1790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
2950 divided by 299 is 9 with a remainder of 259.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 55829.387959
If we take 2691 away from 2950, we end up with 259.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2590, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
299 goes into 2590 8 times with a remainder of 198.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55829.3879598
Subtract 2392 from 2590 to get 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 1980 by 299, we get 6 with a remainder of 186.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55829.38795986
If we take 1794 away from 1980, we end up with 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

The final result is 55829.38795986 with a remainder of 1.86e-07.
