We look at the division of 2145158 by 973 
Let's see how many times 973 fits into 2145158.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 973 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 973

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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 / 973

Step 3:
973 can be fit into 214 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 214.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 214 after subtracting 0 from 214.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 214, then repeat: 2145 / 973

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 2145 by 973, we get 2 with a remainder of 199.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 1946 from 2145 and we're left with 199.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 199 and continue with: 1991 / 973

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 1991 by 973, we get 2 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 1946 away from 1991, we end up with 45.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 455 / 973

On to step 6:
973 goes into 455 0 times with a remainder of 455.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 220.0
Subtracting 0 from 455 leaves us with 455.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 455, then repeat: 4558 / 973

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 4558 by 973, we get 4 with a remainder of 666.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2204.0
If we subtract 3892 from 4558, we get 666.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 6660 by 973, we get 6 and a remainder of 822.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2204.6
If we subtract 5838 from 6660, we get 822.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 8220 by 973, we get 8 with a remainder of 436.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2204.68
Subtracting 7784 from 8220 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 973 fits into 4360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 468.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2204.684
Subtract 3892 from 4360 to get 468.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
973 goes into 4680 4 times with a remainder of 788.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2204.6844
The remainder is 788 after subtracting 3892 from 4680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7880, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2204.6844 and a remainder of 0.00788.
