Let's divide 2149842 by 901
We're looking to find how many times 901 goes into 2149842.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 901, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 901

Going ahead to step 2:
901 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 214 / 901

Moving on to step 3:
214 divided by 901 is 0 with a remainder of 214.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 214 and we're left with 214.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 214, then repeat: 2149 / 901

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 901 fits into 2149 2 times, leaving a remainder of 347.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1802 from 2149 to get 347.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 347, then repeat: 3478 / 901

Advancing to step 5:
901 goes into 3478 3 times with a remainder of 775.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 2703 away from 3478, we end up with 775.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 775 and continue with: 7754 / 901

Step 6:
The number 901 fits into 7754 8 times, leaving a remainder of 546.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 238.0
If we subtract 7208 from 7754, we get 546.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 546, then repeat: 5462 / 901

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 5462 by 901, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2386.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 5406 from 5462.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 901 fits into 560 0 times, leaving a remainder of 560.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2386.0
Deduct 0 from 560 and we're left with 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
901 goes into 5600 6 times with a remainder of 194.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2386.06
Subtract 5406 from 5600 to get 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
901 goes into 1940 2 times with a remainder of 138.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2386.062
Subtracting 1802 from 1940 leaves us with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 1380 by 901, we get 1 with a remainder of 479.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2386.0621
Deduct 901 from 1380 and we're left with 479.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4790, and continue the process.

Step 12:
901 can be fit into 4790 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 285.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2386.06215
If we subtract 4505 from 4790, we get 285.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2850, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 2850 by 901, we get 3 and a remainder of 147.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2386.062153
Deduct 2703 from 2850 and we're left with 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 1470 by 901, we get 1 and a remainder of 569.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2386.0621531
If we take 901 away from 1470, we end up with 569.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 5690 by 901, we get 6 with a remainder of 284.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2386.06215316
The remainder is 284 after subtracting 5406 from 5690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2386.06215316 with a balance of 2.84e-07.
