We look at the division of 16974840 by 477 
Our goal is to divide 16974840 by 477.

Moving on to step 1:
477 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 477

Let's proceed to step 2:
477 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 477

On to step 3:
169 divided by 477 is 0 with a remainder of 169.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 169 leaves us with 169.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 169 and repeat the process: 1697 / 477

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 477 fits into 1697 3 times, leaving a remainder of 266.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 266 after subtracting 1431 from 1697.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 266, then repeat: 2664 / 477

Moving on to step 5:
2664 divided by 477 is 5 with a remainder of 279.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 2385 from 2664 and we're left with 279.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 279, then repeat: 2798 / 477

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2798 by 477, we get 5 and a remainder of 413.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 355.0
If we take 2385 away from 2798, we end up with 413.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 413 and continue: 4134 / 477

On to step 7:
4134 divided by 477 is 8 with a remainder of 318.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3558.0
Subtracting 3816 from 4134 leaves us with 318.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 318 and continue with: 3180 / 477

On to step 8:
477 can be fit into 3180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 318.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 35586.0
Deduct 2862 from 3180 and we're left with 318.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 477 fits into 3180 6 times, leaving a remainder of 318.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35586.6
The remainder is 318 after subtracting 2862 from 3180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
477 goes into 3180 6 times with a remainder of 318.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 35586.66
If we subtract 2862 from 3180, we get 318.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 35586.66 and a remainder of 0.318.
