We're dividing 21734502 by 408 
We're looking to find how many times 408 goes into 21734502.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 408, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 408

Step 2:
The number 408 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 408

Step 3:
The number 408 fits into 217 0 times, leaving a remainder of 217.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 217 leaves us with 217.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 217 and continue: 2173 / 408

Going ahead to step 4:
2173 divided by 408 is 5 with a remainder of 133.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 2040 from 2173 and we're left with 133.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 133, then repeat: 1334 / 408

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 1334 by 408, we get 3 with a remainder of 110.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 1224 from 1334, we get 110.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 110 and repeat the process: 1105 / 408

Advancing to step 6:
408 goes into 1105 2 times with a remainder of 289.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 532.0
Subtract 816 from 1105 to get 289.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 289 and continue: 2890 / 408

Advancing to step 7:
408 can be fit into 2890 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5327.0
If we subtract 2856 from 2890, we get 34.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 342 / 408

Let's proceed to step 8:
342 divided by 408 is 0 with a remainder of 342.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53270.0
Deduct 0 from 342 and we're left with 342.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3420, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 3420 by 408, we get 8 and a remainder of 156.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53270.8
If we subtract 3264 from 3420, we get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 1560 by 408, we get 3 and a remainder of 336.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53270.83
If we take 1224 away from 1560, we end up with 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
408 goes into 3360 8 times with a remainder of 96.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53270.838
Subtracting 3264 from 3360 leaves us with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 960 by 408, we get 2 with a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 53270.8382
Subtracting 816 from 960 leaves us with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1440 by 408, we get 3 with a remainder of 216.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53270.83823
Subtracting 1224 from 1440 leaves us with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 2160 by 408, we get 5 with a remainder of 120.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53270.838235
If we take 2040 away from 2160, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 408 fits into 1200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 384.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53270.8382352
If we take 816 away from 1200, we end up with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
3840 divided by 408 is 9 with a remainder of 168.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53270.83823529
If we take 3672 away from 3840, we end up with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 53270.83823529 with a balance of 1.68e-07.
