16854972 ÷ 838 
Our goal is to divide 16854972 by 838.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 838, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 838

Let's proceed to step 2:
838 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 838

Step 3:
If we divide 168 by 838, we get 0 and a remainder of 168.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 168, we get 168.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 168, then carry on: 1685 / 838

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 838 fits into 1685 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1676 from 1685, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 838

Advancing to step 5:
94 divided by 838 is 0 with a remainder of 94.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 94 after subtracting 0 from 94.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 94, then repeat: 949 / 838

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 949 by 838, we get 1 with a remainder of 111.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 201.0
The remainder is 111 after subtracting 838 from 949.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 111, then carry on: 1117 / 838

Advancing to step 7:
838 can be fit into 1117 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 279.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2011.0
If we subtract 838 from 1117, we get 279.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 279 and continue: 2792 / 838

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 2792 by 838, we get 3 and a remainder of 278.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20113.0
Subtracting 2514 from 2792 leaves us with 278.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2780, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 2780 by 838, we get 3 and a remainder of 266.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20113.3
Subtracting 2514 from 2780 leaves us with 266.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 2660 by 838, we get 3 with a remainder of 146.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20113.33
The remainder is 146 after subtracting 2514 from 2660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

The final result is 20113.33 with a remainder of 0.146.
