16856422 ÷ 966 
Our goal is to divide 16856422 by 966.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 966, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 966

Let's proceed to step 2:
966 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 966

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 966 fits into 168 0 times, leaving a remainder of 168.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 168 leaves us with 168.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 168 and repeat the process: 1685 / 966

Going ahead to step 4:
1685 divided by 966 is 1 with a remainder of 719.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 719 after subtracting 966 from 1685.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 719 and repeat the process: 7196 / 966

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 7196 by 966, we get 7 with a remainder of 434.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 6762 from 7196 leaves us with 434.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 434 and continue: 4344 / 966

Advancing to step 6:
966 goes into 4344 4 times with a remainder of 480.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 3864 from 4344 to get 480.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 480, then repeat: 4802 / 966

Advancing to step 7:
4802 divided by 966 is 4 with a remainder of 938.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1744.0
The remainder is 938 after subtracting 3864 from 4802.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 938, then repeat: 9382 / 966

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 9382 by 966, we get 9 and a remainder of 688.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17449.0
If we subtract 8694 from 9382, we get 688.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6880, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
966 goes into 6880 7 times with a remainder of 118.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17449.7
Subtracting 6762 from 6880 leaves us with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1180 by 966, we get 1 and a remainder of 214.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17449.71
Deduct 966 from 1180 and we're left with 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
2140 divided by 966 is 2 with a remainder of 208.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17449.712
Subtract 1932 from 2140 to get 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Step 12:
966 can be fit into 2080 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 148.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17449.7122
Deduct 1932 from 2080 and we're left with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17449.7122 with a balance of 0.00148.
