We divide 696438 by 21
We're looking to find how many times 21 goes into 696438.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 21, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 21

Step 2:
21 goes into 69 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 63 away from 69, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 66 / 21

Moving on to step 3:
The number 21 fits into 66 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 63 from 66 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 21

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 34 by 21, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 331.0
If we subtract 21 from 34, we get 13.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 133 / 21

Going ahead to step 5:
21 can be fit into 133 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3316.0
If we subtract 126 from 133, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 21

Let's proceed to step 6:
21 can be fit into 78 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33163.0
Subtract 63 from 78 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 21, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33163.7
If we take 147 away from 150, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
21 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33163.71
Subtracting 21 from 30 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
90 divided by 21 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33163.714
Subtracting 84 from 90 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
21 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33163.7142
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
180 divided by 21 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33163.71428
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
120 divided by 21 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33163.714285
Deduct 105 from 120 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
21 goes into 150 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33163.7142857
Subtract 147 from 150 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 30 by 21, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33163.71428571
Subtract 21 from 30 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 33163.71428571 with a remaining 9e-09.
