We divide 21988252 by 971
We're looking to find how many times 971 goes into 21988252.

Advancing to step 1:
971 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 971

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 971 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 971

Step 3:
219 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 219.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 219 leaves us with 219.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 219 and repeat the process: 2198 / 971

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 2198 by 971, we get 2 and a remainder of 256.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 1942 from 2198 and we're left with 256.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 256, then repeat: 2568 / 971

Advancing to step 5:
971 can be fit into 2568 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 626.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 1942 away from 2568, we end up with 626.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 626, then repeat: 6262 / 971

Step 6:
When dividing 6262 by 971, we get 6 with a remainder of 436.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 226.0
Subtract 5826 from 6262 to get 436.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 436, then carry on: 4365 / 971

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 971 fits into 4365 4 times, leaving a remainder of 481.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2264.0
The remainder is 481 after subtracting 3884 from 4365.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 481, then carry on: 4812 / 971

On to step 8:
4812 divided by 971 is 4 with a remainder of 928.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22644.0
Deduct 3884 from 4812 and we're left with 928.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
971 goes into 9280 9 times with a remainder of 541.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22644.9
If we take 8739 away from 9280, we end up with 541.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
971 goes into 5410 5 times with a remainder of 555.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22644.95
If we subtract 4855 from 5410, we get 555.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
5550 divided by 971 is 5 with a remainder of 695.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22644.955
The remainder is 695 after subtracting 4855 from 5550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6950, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 22644.955, and the remainder is 0.0695.
