Let's divide 16978736 by 962
We're looking to find how many times 962 goes into 16978736.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 962, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 962

Going ahead to step 2:
16 divided by 962 is 0 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.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 962

Moving on to step 3:
The number 962 fits into 169 0 times, leaving a remainder of 169.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 169 leaves us with 169.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 169 and continue with: 1697 / 962

Step 4:
If we divide 1697 by 962, we get 1 and a remainder of 735.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 962 from 1697 to get 735.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 735, then repeat: 7358 / 962

On to step 5:
962 can be fit into 7358 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 624.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 6734 from 7358, we get 624.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 624, then repeat: 6247 / 962

Advancing to step 6:
6247 divided by 962 is 6 with a remainder of 475.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtracting 5772 from 6247 leaves us with 475.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 475 and continue with: 4753 / 962

Step 7:
If we divide 4753 by 962, we get 4 and a remainder of 905.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1764.0
If we subtract 3848 from 4753, we get 905.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 905 and continue with: 9056 / 962

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 9056 by 962, we get 9 with a remainder of 398.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17649.0
If we take 8658 away from 9056, we end up with 398.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 3980 by 962, we get 4 with a remainder of 132.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17649.4
Subtract 3848 from 3980 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 1320 by 962, we get 1 with a remainder of 358.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17649.41
Subtract 962 from 1320 to get 358.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 3580 by 962, we get 3 and a remainder of 694.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17649.413
Subtracting 2886 from 3580 leaves us with 694.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
6940 divided by 962 is 7 with a remainder of 206.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17649.4137
Deduct 6734 from 6940 and we're left with 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
962 can be fit into 2060 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 136.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17649.41372
Subtract 1924 from 2060 to get 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 1360 by 962, we get 1 with a remainder of 398.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17649.413721
The remainder is 398 after subtracting 962 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3980, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 962 fits into 3980 4 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17649.4137214
Subtracting 3848 from 3980 leaves us with 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
962 can be fit into 1320 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 358.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17649.41372141
Subtracting 962 from 1320 leaves us with 358.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3580, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17649.41372141 with a balance of 3.58e-07.
