We're dividing 2966484 by 397 
We want to divide 2966484 by 397.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 397, we get 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 (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 397

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 397 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 296 / 397

Moving on to step 3:
296 divided by 397 is 0 with a remainder of 296.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 296, we end up with 296.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 296, then repeat: 2966 / 397

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2966 by 397, we get 7 with a remainder of 187.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 187 after subtracting 2779 from 2966.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 187, then repeat: 1874 / 397

Step 5:
397 goes into 1874 4 times with a remainder of 286.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 1588 from 1874 to get 286.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 286, then repeat: 2868 / 397

Moving on to step 6:
The number 397 fits into 2868 7 times, leaving a remainder of 89.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 747.0
Subtracting 2779 from 2868 leaves us with 89.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 89, then carry on: 894 / 397

Advancing to step 7:
397 can be fit into 894 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 100.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7472.0
Subtract 794 from 894 to get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Step 8:
397 can be fit into 1000 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 206.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7472.2
Deduct 794 from 1000 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.

Step 9:
397 can be fit into 2060 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7472.25
If we subtract 1985 from 2060, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
750 divided by 397 is 1 with a remainder of 353.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7472.251
Subtracting 397 from 750 leaves us with 353.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
3530 divided by 397 is 8 with a remainder of 354.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7472.2518
If we take 3176 away from 3530, we end up with 354.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 3540 by 397, we get 8 and a remainder of 364.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7472.25188
The remainder is 364 after subtracting 3176 from 3540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7472.25188 with a remaining 0.000364.
