17987861 divided by 992 
We want to figure out the number of times 17987861 can be divided by 992.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 992 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 992

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 992, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 992

Advancing to step 3:
The number 992 fits into 179 0 times, leaving a remainder of 179.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 179, we get 179.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 179, then carry on: 1798 / 992

On to step 4:
If we divide 1798 by 992, we get 1 and a remainder of 806.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 992 from 1798 to get 806.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 806 and continue: 8067 / 992

Let's proceed to step 5:
992 can be fit into 8067 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 131.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 131 after subtracting 7936 from 8067.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 131, then repeat: 1318 / 992

Moving on to step 6:
1318 divided by 992 is 1 with a remainder of 326.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtract 992 from 1318 to get 326.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 326, then repeat: 3266 / 992

Advancing to step 7:
3266 divided by 992 is 3 with a remainder of 290.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1813.0
If we take 2976 away from 3266, we end up with 290.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 290, then repeat: 2901 / 992

Let's proceed to step 8:
992 can be fit into 2901 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 917.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18132.0
Subtracting 1984 from 2901 leaves us with 917.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 9170 by 992, we get 9 with a remainder of 242.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18132.9
The remainder is 242 after subtracting 8928 from 9170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
2420 divided by 992 is 2 with a remainder of 436.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18132.92
If we take 1984 away from 2420, we end up with 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 4360 by 992, we get 4 and a remainder of 392.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18132.924
Deduct 3968 from 4360 and we're left with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
992 can be fit into 3920 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 944.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18132.9243
Subtract 2976 from 3920 to get 944.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
992 goes into 9440 9 times with a remainder of 512.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18132.92439
Deduct 8928 from 9440 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
992 goes into 5120 5 times with a remainder of 160.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18132.924395
Subtracting 4960 from 5120 leaves us with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
992 can be fit into 1600 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 608.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18132.9243951
Subtract 992 from 1600 to get 608.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
6080 divided by 992 is 6 with a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18132.92439516
If we take 5952 away from 6080, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18132.92439516 and a remainder of 1.28e-07.
