We're dividing 17876646 by 981 
Our goal is to divide 17876646 by 981.

Step 1:
981 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 981

Step 2:
981 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 981

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 981 fits into 178 0 times, leaving a remainder of 178.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 178 to get 178.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 178, then carry on: 1787 / 981

Advancing to step 4:
1787 divided by 981 is 1 with a remainder of 806.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 981 from 1787 leaves us with 806.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 806 and continue: 8066 / 981

Step 5:
981 can be fit into 8066 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 218.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 7848 from 8066, we get 218.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 218, then carry on: 2186 / 981

Let's proceed to step 6:
981 goes into 2186 2 times with a remainder of 224.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 182.0
Deduct 1962 from 2186 and we're left with 224.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 224, then repeat: 2244 / 981

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 2244 by 981, we get 2 with a remainder of 282.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1822.0
Subtracting 1962 from 2244 leaves us with 282.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 282, then repeat: 2826 / 981

Step 8:
When dividing 2826 by 981, we get 2 with a remainder of 864.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18222.0
Subtracting 1962 from 2826 leaves us with 864.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8640, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
8640 divided by 981 is 8 with a remainder of 792.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18222.8
If we subtract 7848 from 8640, we get 792.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
7920 divided by 981 is 8 with a remainder of 72.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18222.88
If we take 7848 away from 7920, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18222.88 and a remainder of 0.072.
