We're dividing 16973896 by 875 
We want to figure out the number of times 16973896 can be divided by 875.

Step 1:
875 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 875

On to step 2:
875 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 875

Let's proceed to step 3:
875 can be fit into 169 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 169.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 169, we get 169.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 169, then repeat: 1697 / 875

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 1697 by 875, we get 1 with a remainder of 822.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 822 after subtracting 875 from 1697.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 822, then repeat: 8223 / 875

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 8223 by 875, we get 9 and a remainder of 348.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 7875 from 8223 to get 348.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 348 and continue: 3488 / 875

Step 6:
875 goes into 3488 3 times with a remainder of 863.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 193.0
The remainder is 863 after subtracting 2625 from 3488.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 863, then repeat: 8639 / 875

Step 7:
8639 divided by 875 is 9 with a remainder of 764.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1939.0
The remainder is 764 after subtracting 7875 from 8639.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 764 and continue with: 7646 / 875

Moving on to step 8:
The number 875 fits into 7646 8 times, leaving a remainder of 646.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19398.0
Subtract 7000 from 7646 to get 646.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
6460 divided by 875 is 7 with a remainder of 335.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19398.7
If we subtract 6125 from 6460, we get 335.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3350, and continue the process.

Step 10:
875 can be fit into 3350 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 725.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19398.73
Subtract 2625 from 3350 to get 725.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 7250 by 875, we get 8 with a remainder of 250.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 19398.738
The remainder is 250 after subtracting 7000 from 7250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 2500 by 875, we get 2 and a remainder of 750.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19398.7382
Deduct 1750 from 2500 and we're left with 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 7500 by 875, we get 8 and a remainder of 500.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19398.73828
Subtracting 7000 from 7500 leaves us with 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 5000 by 875, we get 5 and a remainder of 625.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 19398.738285
The remainder is 625 after subtracting 4375 from 5000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
6250 divided by 875 is 7 with a remainder of 125.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19398.7382857
If we subtract 6125 from 6250, we get 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
1250 divided by 875 is 1 with a remainder of 375.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19398.73828571
The remainder is 375 after subtracting 875 from 1250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3750, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 19398.73828571, with a leftover of 3.75e-07.
