We're dividing 2171018 by 975 
We're looking to find how many times 975 goes into 2171018.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 975 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 975

Moving on to step 2:
975 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 975

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 217 by 975, we get 0 and a remainder of 217.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 217, we end up with 217.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 217 and repeat the process: 2171 / 975

Let's proceed to step 4:
975 can be fit into 2171 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 221.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1950 from 2171 to get 221.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 221, then repeat: 2210 / 975

Step 5:
If we divide 2210 by 975, we get 2 and a remainder of 260.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we subtract 1950 from 2210, we get 260.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 260, then carry on: 2601 / 975

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2601 by 975, we get 2 and a remainder of 651.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 222.0
If we take 1950 away from 2601, we end up with 651.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 651, then carry on: 6518 / 975

Advancing to step 7:
975 goes into 6518 6 times with a remainder of 668.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2226.0
If we take 5850 away from 6518, we end up with 668.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
975 can be fit into 6680 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 830.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2226.6
If we subtract 5850 from 6680, we get 830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 8300 by 975, we get 8 with a remainder of 500.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2226.68
Subtracting 7800 from 8300 leaves us with 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
975 goes into 5000 5 times with a remainder of 125.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2226.685
If we take 4875 away from 5000, we end up with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
1250 divided by 975 is 1 with a remainder of 275.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2226.6851
The remainder is 275 after subtracting 975 from 1250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2750, and continue the process.

Step 12:
2750 divided by 975 is 2 with a remainder of 800.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2226.68512
Deduct 1950 from 2750 and we're left with 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
8000 divided by 975 is 8 with a remainder of 200.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2226.685128
Deduct 7800 from 8000 and we're left with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
975 can be fit into 2000 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2226.6851282
Deduct 1950 from 2000 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
975 goes into 500 0 times with a remainder of 500.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2226.6851282
Subtract 0 from 500 to get 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

The final result is 2226.6851282 with a remainder of 5e-07.
