16972023 divided by 106 
We want to figure out the number of times 16972023 can be divided by 106.

Step 1:
106 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 106

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 106, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 106

Advancing to step 3:
The number 106 fits into 169 1 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 106 from 169.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 637 / 106

Let's proceed to step 4:
106 can be fit into 637 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 636 from 637, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 106

Moving on to step 5:
106 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 120 / 106

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 106 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1601.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 106 from 120.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 106

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 142 by 106, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16011.0
Deduct 106 from 142 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 363 / 106

On to step 8:
106 goes into 363 3 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 160113.0
Subtract 318 from 363 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 450 by 106, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160113.4
Subtracting 424 from 450 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 106, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160113.42
Subtracting 212 from 260 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
106 can be fit into 480 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160113.424
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 424 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
106 can be fit into 560 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160113.4245
Subtract 530 from 560 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
106 goes into 300 2 times with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 160113.42452
Deduct 212 from 300 and we're left with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 106 fits into 880 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160113.424528
If we take 848 away from 880, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 320 by 106, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160113.4245283
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 318 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 20 by 106, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160113.4245283
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 160113.4245283, with a leftover of 2e-08.
