We divide 16403879 by 971
We're looking to find how many times 971 goes into 16403879.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 971, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 971

Advancing to step 2:
971 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 971

Moving on to step 3:
The number 971 fits into 164 0 times, leaving a remainder of 164.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 164 leaves us with 164.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 164, then repeat: 1640 / 971

On to step 4:
971 can be fit into 1640 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 669.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 971 from 1640 to get 669.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 669, then repeat: 6693 / 971

Going ahead to step 5:
971 can be fit into 6693 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 867.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 5826 from 6693, we get 867.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 867, then repeat: 8678 / 971

Step 6:
When dividing 8678 by 971, we get 8 with a remainder of 910.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 168.0
If we take 7768 away from 8678, we end up with 910.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 910 and repeat the process: 9107 / 971

Let's proceed to step 7:
9107 divided by 971 is 9 with a remainder of 368.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1689.0
The remainder is 368 after subtracting 8739 from 9107.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 368 and continue: 3689 / 971

On to step 8:
When dividing 3689 by 971, we get 3 with a remainder of 776.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16893.0
Deduct 2913 from 3689 and we're left with 776.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
971 can be fit into 7760 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 963.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16893.7
If we take 6797 away from 7760, we end up with 963.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 971 fits into 9630 9 times, leaving a remainder of 891.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16893.79
Subtract 8739 from 9630 to get 891.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8910, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
971 can be fit into 8910 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 171.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16893.799
If we subtract 8739 from 8910, we get 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 16893.799 and a remainder of 0.0171.
