21970936 divided by 974 
We want to figure out the number of times 21970936 can be divided by 974.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 974

Step 2:
974 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 219 / 974

On to step 3:
If we divide 219 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 219.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 219 leaves us with 219.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 219, then carry on: 2197 / 974

Step 4:
When dividing 2197 by 974, we get 2 with a remainder of 249.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1948 from 2197 leaves us with 249.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 249 and continue with: 2490 / 974

Moving on to step 5:
974 can be fit into 2490 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 542.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 1948 from 2490 to get 542.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 542 and repeat the process: 5429 / 974

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 5429 by 974, we get 5 with a remainder of 559.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 225.0
Deduct 4870 from 5429 and we're left with 559.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 559, then repeat: 5593 / 974

On to step 7:
5593 divided by 974 is 5 with a remainder of 723.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2255.0
If we subtract 4870 from 5593, we get 723.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 723 and repeat the process: 7236 / 974

On to step 8:
When dividing 7236 by 974, we get 7 with a remainder of 418.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22557.0
Subtracting 6818 from 7236 leaves us with 418.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 974 fits into 4180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 284.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22557.4
Deduct 3896 from 4180 and we're left with 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 2840 by 974, we get 2 and a remainder of 892.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22557.42
Subtract 1948 from 2840 to get 892.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 8920 by 974, we get 9 with a remainder of 154.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22557.429
Subtracting 8766 from 8920 leaves us with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
974 goes into 1540 1 times with a remainder of 566.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22557.4291
Subtracting 974 from 1540 leaves us with 566.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 5660 by 974, we get 5 with a remainder of 790.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22557.42915
Subtracting 4870 from 5660 leaves us with 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 7900 by 974, we get 8 and a remainder of 108.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22557.429158
If we take 7792 away from 7900, we end up with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 1080 by 974, we get 1 and a remainder of 106.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22557.4291581
Subtracting 974 from 1080 leaves us with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 1060 by 974, we get 1 with a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22557.42915811
Subtract 974 from 1060 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 22557.42915811 with a balance of 8.6e-08.
