Let's divide 17916878 by 974
We want to divide 17916878 by 974.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 974

Let's proceed to step 2:
974 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 974

Step 3:
974 can be fit into 179 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 179.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 179, we end up with 179.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 179, then repeat: 1791 / 974

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 1791 by 974, we get 1 and a remainder of 817.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 974 from 1791, we get 817.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 817 and continue: 8176 / 974

Let's proceed to step 5:
974 goes into 8176 8 times with a remainder of 384.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 7792 away from 8176, we end up with 384.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 384 and continue: 3848 / 974

Moving on to step 6:
974 goes into 3848 3 times with a remainder of 926.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 183.0
Subtracting 2922 from 3848 leaves us with 926.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 926, then repeat: 9267 / 974

Moving on to step 7:
The number 974 fits into 9267 9 times, leaving a remainder of 501.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1839.0
Subtracting 8766 from 9267 leaves us with 501.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 501, then carry on: 5018 / 974

Let's proceed to step 8:
974 can be fit into 5018 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18395.0
If we take 4870 away from 5018, we end up with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 1480 by 974, we get 1 and a remainder of 506.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18395.1
Deduct 974 from 1480 and we're left with 506.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 974 fits into 5060 5 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18395.15
Subtract 4870 from 5060 to get 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
974 can be fit into 1900 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 926.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18395.151
Deduct 974 from 1900 and we're left with 926.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 9260 by 974, we get 9 with a remainder of 494.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18395.1519
If we take 8766 away from 9260, we end up with 494.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4940, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
4940 divided by 974 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18395.15195
Deduct 4870 from 4940 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 974 fits into 700 0 times, leaving a remainder of 700.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18395.15195
Subtracting 0 from 700 leaves us with 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
974 can be fit into 7000 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 182.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18395.1519507
If we take 6818 away from 7000, we end up with 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Step 16:
When dividing 1820 by 974, we get 1 with a remainder of 846.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18395.15195071
Subtracting 974 from 1820 leaves us with 846.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8460, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18395.15195071 and a remainder of 8.46e-07.
