Let's divide 5474297 by 996
We want to divide 5474297 by 996.

Step 1:
The number 996 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 996

Step 2:
When dividing 54 by 996, we get 0 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 547 / 996

On to step 3:
The number 996 fits into 547 0 times, leaving a remainder of 547.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 547, we get 547.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 547 and repeat the process: 5474 / 996

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 5474 by 996, we get 5 with a remainder of 494.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4980 from 5474 leaves us with 494.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 494 and repeat the process: 4942 / 996

Let's proceed to step 5:
996 goes into 4942 4 times with a remainder of 958.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 3984 from 4942, we get 958.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 958 and continue: 9589 / 996

Step 6:
If we divide 9589 by 996, we get 9 and a remainder of 625.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 549.0
If we subtract 8964 from 9589, we get 625.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 625, then repeat: 6257 / 996

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 6257 by 996, we get 6 and a remainder of 281.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5496.0
Subtract 5976 from 6257 to get 281.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 2810 by 996, we get 2 and a remainder of 818.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5496.2
The remainder is 818 after subtracting 1992 from 2810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
996 goes into 8180 8 times with a remainder of 212.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5496.28
Subtract 7968 from 8180 to get 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
2120 divided by 996 is 2 with a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5496.282
The remainder is 128 after subtracting 1992 from 2120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
996 can be fit into 1280 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 284.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5496.2821
If we take 996 away from 1280, we end up with 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
996 can be fit into 2840 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 848.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5496.28212
If we take 1992 away from 2840, we end up with 848.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 8480 by 996, we get 8 and a remainder of 512.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5496.282128
If we take 7968 away from 8480, we end up with 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
996 can be fit into 5120 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 140.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5496.2821285
The remainder is 140 after subtracting 4980 from 5120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 996 fits into 1400 1 times, leaving a remainder of 404.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5496.28212851
Deduct 996 from 1400 and we're left with 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5496.28212851 and a remainder of 4.04e-07.
