We're dividing 20040487 by 912 
We want to figure out the number of times 20040487 can be divided by 912.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 912 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 912

Step 2:
912 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 200 / 912

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 200 by 912, we get 0 with a remainder of 200.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 200 leaves us with 200.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 200 and repeat the process: 2004 / 912

Advancing to step 4:
2004 divided by 912 is 2 with a remainder of 180.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1824 from 2004 to get 180.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 180, then repeat: 1800 / 912

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 912 fits into 1800 1 times, leaving a remainder of 888.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 912 from 1800, we get 888.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 888 and continue with: 8884 / 912

Step 6:
The number 912 fits into 8884 9 times, leaving a remainder of 676.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 219.0
Deduct 8208 from 8884 and we're left with 676.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 676, then repeat: 6768 / 912

Advancing to step 7:
912 goes into 6768 7 times with a remainder of 384.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2197.0
Subtracting 6384 from 6768 leaves us with 384.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 384 and repeat the process: 3847 / 912

Let's proceed to step 8:
912 goes into 3847 4 times with a remainder of 199.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21974.0
If we take 3648 away from 3847, we end up with 199.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1990, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 1990 by 912, we get 2 and a remainder of 166.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21974.2
If we take 1824 away from 1990, we end up with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
1660 divided by 912 is 1 with a remainder of 748.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21974.21
The remainder is 748 after subtracting 912 from 1660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
912 can be fit into 7480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 184.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21974.218
The remainder is 184 after subtracting 7296 from 7480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 1840 by 912, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21974.2182
If we subtract 1824 from 1840, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
160 divided by 912 is 0 with a remainder of 160.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21974.2182
If we take 0 away from 160, we end up with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
912 can be fit into 1600 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 688.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21974.218201
If we subtract 912 from 1600, we get 688.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 912 fits into 6880 7 times, leaving a remainder of 496.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21974.2182017
Subtracting 6384 from 6880 leaves us with 496.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 4960 by 912, we get 5 with a remainder of 400.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21974.21820175
Subtracting 4560 from 4960 leaves us with 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21974.21820175 with a remaining 4e-07.
