Let's divide 22872681 by 997
Let's see how many times 997 fits into 22872681.

Advancing to step 1:
997 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 997

On to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 997, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 228 / 997

Going ahead to step 3:
997 goes into 228 0 times with a remainder of 228.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 228 leaves us with 228.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 228, then repeat: 2287 / 997

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2287 by 997, we get 2 with a remainder of 293.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 293 after subtracting 1994 from 2287.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 293 and continue: 2932 / 997

Step 5:
2932 divided by 997 is 2 with a remainder of 938.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we subtract 1994 from 2932, we get 938.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 938 and continue with: 9386 / 997

Step 6:
When dividing 9386 by 997, we get 9 with a remainder of 413.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 229.0
If we subtract 8973 from 9386, we get 413.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 413 and repeat the process: 4138 / 997

Let's proceed to step 7:
997 goes into 4138 4 times with a remainder of 150.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2294.0
The remainder is 150 after subtracting 3988 from 4138.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 150 and continue with: 1501 / 997

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 1501 by 997, we get 1 with a remainder of 504.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22941.0
If we subtract 997 from 1501, we get 504.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5040, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 5040 by 997, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22941.5
If we take 4985 away from 5040, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
997 can be fit into 550 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 550.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 22941.5
The remainder is 550 after subtracting 0 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 5500 by 997, we get 5 with a remainder of 515.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22941.505
Subtracting 4985 from 5500 leaves us with 515.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 5150 by 997, we get 5 and a remainder of 165.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22941.5055
If we subtract 4985 from 5150, we get 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 22941.5055 with a remaining 0.00165.
