We look at the division of 16917889 by 472 
We want to divide 16917889 by 472.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 472, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 472

On to step 2:
472 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 472

Let's proceed to step 3:
472 can be fit into 169 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 169.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 169 and we're left with 169.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 169 and continue: 1691 / 472

Going ahead to step 4:
1691 divided by 472 is 3 with a remainder of 275.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 1416 from 1691 to get 275.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 275 and repeat the process: 2757 / 472

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 2757 by 472, we get 5 with a remainder of 397.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 2360 from 2757 leaves us with 397.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 397 and continue: 3978 / 472

On to step 6:
472 goes into 3978 8 times with a remainder of 202.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 358.0
Deduct 3776 from 3978 and we're left with 202.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 202, then carry on: 2028 / 472

Advancing to step 7:
2028 divided by 472 is 4 with a remainder of 140.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3584.0
If we subtract 1888 from 2028, we get 140.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 140 and continue with: 1409 / 472

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 1409 by 472, we get 2 with a remainder of 465.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35842.0
Subtract 944 from 1409 to get 465.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
472 goes into 4650 9 times with a remainder of 402.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35842.9
If we subtract 4248 from 4650, we get 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4020, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 4020 by 472, we get 8 and a remainder of 244.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35842.98
Deduct 3776 from 4020 and we're left with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
472 goes into 2440 5 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35842.985
Deduct 2360 from 2440 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
472 can be fit into 800 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 328.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35842.9851
If we take 472 away from 800, we end up with 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 3280 by 472, we get 6 and a remainder of 448.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35842.98516
Deduct 2832 from 3280 and we're left with 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4480, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
472 goes into 4480 9 times with a remainder of 232.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35842.985169
If we subtract 4248 from 4480, we get 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 2320 by 472, we get 4 and a remainder of 432.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 35842.9851694
Deduct 1888 from 2320 and we're left with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
472 can be fit into 4320 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35842.98516949
Deduct 4248 from 4320 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 35842.98516949, with a leftover of 7.2e-08.
