We're dividing 18849786 by 996 
We're looking to find how many times 996 goes into 18849786.

Step 1:
996 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 996

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 996, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 996

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 996 fits into 188 0 times, leaving a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 188 after subtracting 0 from 188.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 188 and continue with: 1884 / 996

On to step 4:
996 can be fit into 1884 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 888.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 996 from 1884 leaves us with 888.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 888 and repeat the process: 8889 / 996

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 8889 by 996, we get 8 with a remainder of 921.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 7968 from 8889 leaves us with 921.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 921 and repeat the process: 9217 / 996

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 9217 by 996, we get 9 and a remainder of 253.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 189.0
If we subtract 8964 from 9217, we get 253.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 253, then repeat: 2538 / 996

Step 7:
2538 divided by 996 is 2 with a remainder of 546.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1892.0
Deduct 1992 from 2538 and we're left with 546.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 546 and repeat the process: 5466 / 996

Going ahead to step 8:
996 can be fit into 5466 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 486.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18925.0
The remainder is 486 after subtracting 4980 from 5466.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
4860 divided by 996 is 4 with a remainder of 876.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18925.4
Subtracting 3984 from 4860 leaves us with 876.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
996 can be fit into 8760 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 792.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18925.48
The remainder is 792 after subtracting 7968 from 8760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 7920 by 996, we get 7 with a remainder of 948.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18925.487
If we subtract 6972 from 7920, we get 948.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
996 goes into 9480 9 times with a remainder of 516.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18925.4879
Deduct 8964 from 9480 and we're left with 516.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
996 goes into 5160 5 times with a remainder of 180.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18925.48795
Subtract 4980 from 5160 to get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 1800 by 996, we get 1 with a remainder of 804.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18925.487951
Subtract 996 from 1800 to get 804.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 8040 by 996, we get 8 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18925.4879518
If we subtract 7968 from 8040, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
996 goes into 720 0 times with a remainder of 720.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18925.4879518
Subtract 0 from 720 to get 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18925.4879518 and a remainder of 7.2e-07.
