8904992 ÷ 497 
We want to figure out the number of times 8904992 can be divided by 497.

Step 1:
8 divided by 497 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 497

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 89 by 497, we get 0 with a remainder of 89.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 89 and we're left with 89.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 89, then repeat: 890 / 497

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 890 by 497, we get 1 and a remainder of 393.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 497 from 890 to get 393.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 393, then carry on: 3934 / 497

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 3934 by 497, we get 7 with a remainder of 455.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 3479 from 3934 and we're left with 455.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 455, then repeat: 4559 / 497

Step 5:
497 goes into 4559 9 times with a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 179.0
Subtract 4473 from 4559 to get 86.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 86, then repeat: 869 / 497

Step 6:
If we divide 869 by 497, we get 1 and a remainder of 372.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1791.0
If we take 497 away from 869, we end up with 372.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 372 and continue with: 3722 / 497

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 497 fits into 3722 7 times, leaving a remainder of 243.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17917.0
The remainder is 243 after subtracting 3479 from 3722.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 2430 by 497, we get 4 with a remainder of 442.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17917.4
Subtracting 1988 from 2430 leaves us with 442.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
497 goes into 4420 8 times with a remainder of 444.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17917.48
If we take 3976 away from 4420, we end up with 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 4440 by 497, we get 8 with a remainder of 464.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17917.488
Deduct 3976 from 4440 and we're left with 464.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17917.488 with a remaining 0.0464.
