Let's divide 17970901 by 863
We're looking to find how many times 863 goes into 17970901.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 863, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 863

Advancing to step 2:
863 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 863

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 863 fits into 179 0 times, leaving a remainder of 179.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 179, we end up with 179.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 179 and continue with: 1797 / 863

On to step 4:
When dividing 1797 by 863, we get 2 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1726 away from 1797, we end up with 71.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 710 / 863

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 710 by 863, we get 0 and a remainder of 710.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 710 and we're left with 710.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 710 and continue: 7109 / 863

Advancing to step 6:
863 can be fit into 7109 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 205.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 208.0
If we subtract 6904 from 7109, we get 205.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 205 and continue: 2050 / 863

On to step 7:
863 can be fit into 2050 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 324.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2082.0
Subtracting 1726 from 2050 leaves us with 324.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 324, then repeat: 3241 / 863

Let's proceed to step 8:
863 can be fit into 3241 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 652.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20823.0
Deduct 2589 from 3241 and we're left with 652.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 6520 by 863, we get 7 with a remainder of 479.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20823.7
If we take 6041 away from 6520, we end up with 479.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
863 goes into 4790 5 times with a remainder of 475.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20823.75
Subtracting 4315 from 4790 leaves us with 475.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 4750 by 863, we get 5 and a remainder of 435.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20823.755
Subtract 4315 from 4750 to get 435.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4350, and continue the process.

Our division results in 20823.755 with a remaining 0.0435.
