We look at the division of 5485865 by 996 
We want to divide 5485865 by 996.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 996 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 996

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 996, we get 0 and a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 548 / 996

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 996 fits into 548 0 times, leaving a remainder of 548.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 548 after subtracting 0 from 548.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 548 and repeat the process: 5485 / 996

On to step 4:
996 goes into 5485 5 times with a remainder of 505.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4980 from 5485, we get 505.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 505 and continue with: 5058 / 996

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 5058 by 996, we get 5 with a remainder of 78.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 4980 away from 5058, we end up with 78.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 786 / 996

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 996 fits into 786 0 times, leaving a remainder of 786.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 550.0
Subtract 0 from 786 to get 786.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 786, then repeat: 7865 / 996

Moving on to step 7:
The number 996 fits into 7865 7 times, leaving a remainder of 893.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5507.0
If we take 6972 away from 7865, we end up with 893.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8930, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 8930 by 996, we get 8 with a remainder of 962.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5507.8
Subtract 7968 from 8930 to get 962.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9620, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 9620 by 996, we get 9 and a remainder of 656.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5507.89
Subtract 8964 from 9620 to get 656.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
996 can be fit into 6560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 584.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5507.896
Deduct 5976 from 6560 and we're left with 584.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 996 fits into 5840 5 times, leaving a remainder of 860.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5507.8965
If we subtract 4980 from 5840, we get 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8600, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 8600 by 996, we get 8 and a remainder of 632.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5507.89658
The remainder is 632 after subtracting 7968 from 8600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
6320 divided by 996 is 6 with a remainder of 344.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5507.896586
Subtract 5976 from 6320 to get 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 3440 by 996, we get 3 with a remainder of 452.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5507.8965863
Subtract 2988 from 3440 to get 452.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4520, and continue the process.

Step 15:
4520 divided by 996 is 4 with a remainder of 536.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5507.89658634
The remainder is 536 after subtracting 3984 from 4520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5360, and continue the process.

The final result is 5507.89658634 with a remainder of 5.36e-07.
