We divide 21998984 by 499
Our goal is to divide 21998984 by 499.

Going ahead to step 1:
499 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 499

Let's proceed to step 2:
499 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 499

Step 3:
The number 499 fits into 219 0 times, leaving a remainder of 219.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 219 to get 219.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 219 and continue with: 2199 / 499

Moving on to step 4:
2199 divided by 499 is 4 with a remainder of 203.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 1996 from 2199 leaves us with 203.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 203, then repeat: 2038 / 499

On to step 5:
499 can be fit into 2038 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 1996 from 2038 leaves us with 42.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 429 / 499

Let's proceed to step 6:
499 can be fit into 429 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 429.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 440.0
The remainder is 429 after subtracting 0 from 429.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 429 and continue: 4298 / 499

On to step 7:
499 goes into 4298 8 times with a remainder of 306.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4408.0
If we take 3992 away from 4298, we end up with 306.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 306 and repeat the process: 3064 / 499

Going ahead to step 8:
499 can be fit into 3064 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44086.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 2994 from 3064.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
499 can be fit into 700 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 201.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 44086.1
The remainder is 201 after subtracting 499 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2010, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 2010 by 499, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44086.14
Subtracting 1996 from 2010 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 499, we get 0 and a remainder of 140.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44086.14
Deduct 0 from 140 and we're left with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
499 goes into 1400 2 times with a remainder of 402.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44086.1402
Subtract 998 from 1400 to get 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4020, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 4020 by 499, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44086.14028
Subtract 3992 from 4020 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 499 fits into 280 0 times, leaving a remainder of 280.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 44086.14028
If we subtract 0 from 280, we 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.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 499 fits into 2800 5 times, leaving a remainder of 305.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44086.1402805
Subtracting 2495 from 2800 leaves us with 305.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3050, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 3050 by 499, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44086.14028056
If we take 2994 away from 3050, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 44086.14028056, with a leftover of 5.6e-08.
