We're dividing 16526988 by 997 
We want to divide 16526988 by 997.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 997, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 997

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 997, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 165 / 997

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 165 by 997, we get 0 with a remainder of 165.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 165, we end up with 165.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 165 and continue with: 1652 / 997

Step 4:
When dividing 1652 by 997, we get 1 with a remainder of 655.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 655 after subtracting 997 from 1652.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 655, then repeat: 6556 / 997

Step 5:
997 can be fit into 6556 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 574.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 5982 from 6556 to get 574.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 574, then repeat: 5749 / 997

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 5749 by 997, we get 5 and a remainder of 764.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 165.0
The remainder is 764 after subtracting 4985 from 5749.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 764, then repeat: 7648 / 997

Moving on to step 7:
997 goes into 7648 7 times with a remainder of 669.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1657.0
Subtract 6979 from 7648 to get 669.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 669 and repeat the process: 6698 / 997

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 6698 by 997, we get 6 with a remainder of 716.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16576.0
The remainder is 716 after subtracting 5982 from 6698.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
7160 divided by 997 is 7 with a remainder of 181.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16576.7
If we subtract 6979 from 7160, we get 181.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
997 goes into 1810 1 times with a remainder of 813.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16576.71
Deduct 997 from 1810 and we're left with 813.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8130, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 997 fits into 8130 8 times, leaving a remainder of 154.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16576.718
If we subtract 7976 from 8130, we get 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
997 can be fit into 1540 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 543.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16576.7181
Subtracting 997 from 1540 leaves us with 543.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
5430 divided by 997 is 5 with a remainder of 445.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16576.71815
If we subtract 4985 from 5430, we get 445.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
997 goes into 4450 4 times with a remainder of 462.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16576.718154
The remainder is 462 after subtracting 3988 from 4450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 4620 by 997, we get 4 with a remainder of 632.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16576.7181544
If we subtract 3988 from 4620, we get 632.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16576.7181544 with a remaining 6.32e-06.
