We're dividing 8872524 by 497 
We want to divide 8872524 by 497.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 497, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 497

On to step 2:
497 goes into 88 0 times with a remainder of 88.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 88 and we're left with 88.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 88, then carry on: 887 / 497

Going ahead to step 3:
497 can be fit into 887 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 390.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 390 after subtracting 497 from 887.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 390 and continue with: 3902 / 497

Step 4:
497 can be fit into 3902 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 423.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 3479 from 3902 leaves us with 423.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 423 and repeat the process: 4235 / 497

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 497 fits into 4235 8 times, leaving a remainder of 259.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
Subtract 3976 from 4235 to get 259.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 259, then carry on: 2592 / 497

Step 6:
When dividing 2592 by 497, we get 5 with a remainder of 107.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1785.0
The remainder is 107 after subtracting 2485 from 2592.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 107, then repeat: 1074 / 497

On to step 7:
1074 divided by 497 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17852.0
If we subtract 994 from 1074, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 800 by 497, we get 1 with a remainder of 303.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17852.1
If we take 497 away from 800, we end up with 303.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3030, and continue the process.

Step 9:
497 can be fit into 3030 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17852.16
Subtract 2982 from 3030 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
497 can be fit into 480 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 480.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17852.16
The remainder is 480 after subtracting 0 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 4800 by 497, we get 9 with a remainder of 327.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17852.1609
Subtracting 4473 from 4800 leaves us with 327.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
497 goes into 3270 6 times with a remainder of 288.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17852.16096
Deduct 2982 from 3270 and we're left with 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
2880 divided by 497 is 5 with a remainder of 395.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17852.160965
Subtracting 2485 from 2880 leaves us with 395.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 3950 by 497, we get 7 with a remainder of 471.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17852.1609657
The remainder is 471 after subtracting 3479 from 3950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 4710 by 497, we get 9 with a remainder of 237.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17852.16096579
Deduct 4473 from 4710 and we're left with 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2370, and continue the process.

The final result is 17852.16096579 with a remainder of 2.37e-07.
