We divide 4053426 by 971
We want to figure out the number of times 4053426 can be divided by 971.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 971, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 971

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 405 / 971

Step 3:
When dividing 405 by 971, we get 0 with a remainder of 405.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 405, we end up with 405.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 405, then repeat: 4053 / 971

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 971 fits into 4053 4 times, leaving a remainder of 169.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3884 from 4053 and we're left with 169.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 169 and repeat the process: 1694 / 971

Step 5:
971 can be fit into 1694 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 723.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we subtract 971 from 1694, we get 723.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 723, then repeat: 7232 / 971

On to step 6:
7232 divided by 971 is 7 with a remainder of 435.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 417.0
Deduct 6797 from 7232 and we're left with 435.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 435, then carry on: 4356 / 971

Going ahead to step 7:
971 can be fit into 4356 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 472.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4174.0
If we take 3884 away from 4356, we end up with 472.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4720, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 4720 by 971, we get 4 and a remainder of 836.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4174.4
If we take 3884 away from 4720, we end up with 836.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
971 goes into 8360 8 times with a remainder of 592.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4174.48
If we subtract 7768 from 8360, we get 592.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 971 fits into 5920 6 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4174.486
Subtracting 5826 from 5920 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
940 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 940.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4174.486
If we subtract 0 from 940, we get 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
9400 divided by 971 is 9 with a remainder of 661.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4174.48609
If we subtract 8739 from 9400, we get 661.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 6610 by 971, we get 6 and a remainder of 784.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4174.486096
Subtracting 5826 from 6610 leaves us with 784.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 7840 by 971, we get 8 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4174.4860968
Subtracting 7768 from 7840 leaves us 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.

On to step 15:
971 can be fit into 720 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 720.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4174.4860968
Subtracting 0 from 720 leaves us with 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

The final result is 4174.4860968 with a remainder of 7.2e-07.
