Let's divide 16966794 by 491
We're looking to find how many times 491 goes into 16966794.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 491 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 491

Going ahead to step 2:
491 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 491

On to step 3:
169 divided by 491 is 0 with a remainder of 169.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 169 after subtracting 0 from 169.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 169 and repeat the process: 1696 / 491

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 1696 by 491, we get 3 and a remainder of 223.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 223 after subtracting 1473 from 1696.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 223 and repeat the process: 2236 / 491

Advancing to step 5:
2236 divided by 491 is 4 with a remainder of 272.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 1964 away from 2236, we end up with 272.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 272 and continue with: 2727 / 491

On to step 6:
If we divide 2727 by 491, we get 5 and a remainder of 272.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 345.0
Subtract 2455 from 2727 to get 272.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 272 and continue: 2729 / 491

Step 7:
491 can be fit into 2729 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 274.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3455.0
Subtracting 2455 from 2729 leaves us with 274.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 274 and repeat the process: 2744 / 491

Going ahead to step 8:
2744 divided by 491 is 5 with a remainder of 289.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34555.0
If we subtract 2455 from 2744, we get 289.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2890, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
2890 divided by 491 is 5 with a remainder of 435.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34555.5
Deduct 2455 from 2890 and we're left with 435.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 491 fits into 4350 8 times, leaving a remainder of 422.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34555.58
If we subtract 3928 from 4350, we get 422.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
4220 divided by 491 is 8 with a remainder of 292.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34555.588
If we subtract 3928 from 4220, we get 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 34555.588 and a remainder of 0.0292.
