Let's divide 16983738 by 255
We want to divide 16983738 by 255.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 255 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 255

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 255, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 255

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 169 by 255, we get 0 with a remainder of 169.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 169, we end up with 169.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 169, then carry on: 1698 / 255

Advancing to step 4:
1698 divided by 255 is 6 with a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 1530 from 1698 to get 168.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 168, then carry on: 1683 / 255

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 1683 by 255, we get 6 with a remainder of 153.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we subtract 1530 from 1683, we get 153.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 153 and repeat the process: 1537 / 255

On to step 6:
If we divide 1537 by 255, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 666.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 1530 from 1537.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 255

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 73 by 255, we get 0 with a remainder of 73.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6660.0
If we subtract 0 from 73, we get 73.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 738 / 255

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 738 by 255, we get 2 with a remainder of 228.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 66602.0
The remainder is 228 after subtracting 510 from 738.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 255 fits into 2280 8 times, leaving a remainder of 240.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 66602.8
If we take 2040 away from 2280, we end up with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 2400 by 255, we get 9 with a remainder of 105.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 66602.89
Subtract 2295 from 2400 to get 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
1050 divided by 255 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 66602.894
If we take 1020 away from 1050, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 255, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 66602.8941
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 13:
255 can be fit into 450 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 195.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 66602.89411
If we subtract 255 from 450, we get 195.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 66602.89411, and the remainder is 0.000195.
