We're dividing 2508987 by 994 
We're looking to find how many times 994 goes into 2508987.

On to step 1:
The number 994 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 994

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 994, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 250 / 994

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 250 by 994, we get 0 with a remainder of 250.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 250 and we're left with 250.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 250, then carry on: 2508 / 994

Going ahead to step 4:
994 can be fit into 2508 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 520.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1988 from 2508 leaves us with 520.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 520, then carry on: 5209 / 994

Step 5:
994 goes into 5209 5 times with a remainder of 239.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 4970 from 5209 and we're left with 239.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 239, then repeat: 2398 / 994

On to step 6:
When dividing 2398 by 994, we get 2 with a remainder of 410.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 252.0
If we subtract 1988 from 2398, we get 410.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 410, then repeat: 4107 / 994

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 4107 by 994, we get 4 with a remainder of 131.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2524.0
If we take 3976 away from 4107, we end up with 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 1310 by 994, we get 1 with a remainder of 316.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2524.1
Subtracting 994 from 1310 leaves us with 316.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 3160 by 994, we get 3 with a remainder of 178.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2524.13
Deduct 2982 from 3160 and we're left with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1780 by 994, we get 1 and a remainder of 786.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2524.131
If we take 994 away from 1780, we end up with 786.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 994 fits into 7860 7 times, leaving a remainder of 902.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2524.1317
If we subtract 6958 from 7860, we get 902.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
994 goes into 9020 9 times with a remainder of 74.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2524.13179
Subtracting 8946 from 9020 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 740 by 994, we get 0 with a remainder of 740.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2524.13179
The remainder is 740 after subtracting 0 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 7400 by 994, we get 7 with a remainder of 442.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2524.1317907
The remainder is 442 after subtracting 6958 from 7400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 4420 by 994, we get 4 and a remainder of 444.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2524.13179074
If we subtract 3976 from 4420, we get 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2524.13179074, with a leftover of 4.44e-07.
