16871 ÷ 896 
Our goal is to divide 16871 by 896.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 896 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 896

On to step 2:
896 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 896

Step 3:
896 can be fit into 168 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 168 and we're left with 168.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 168, then carry on: 1687 / 896

Step 4:
When dividing 1687 by 896, we get 1 with a remainder of 791.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 896 away from 1687, we end up with 791.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 791, then repeat: 7911 / 896

Let's proceed to step 5:
7911 divided by 896 is 8 with a remainder of 743.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 7168 from 7911 leaves us with 743.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 7430 by 896, we get 8 with a remainder of 262.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.8
Deduct 7168 from 7430 and we're left with 262.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
896 can be fit into 2620 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 828.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.82
Deduct 1792 from 2620 and we're left with 828.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 8280 by 896, we get 9 and a remainder of 216.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.829
Deduct 8064 from 8280 and we're left with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
896 can be fit into 2160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 368.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.8292
Subtracting 1792 from 2160 leaves us with 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
896 goes into 3680 4 times with a remainder of 96.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.82924
If we subtract 3584 from 3680, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 960 by 896, we get 1 and a remainder of 64.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.829241
Subtracting 896 from 960 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 896 fits into 640 0 times, leaving a remainder of 640.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.829241
The remainder is 640 after subtracting 0 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
896 goes into 6400 7 times with a remainder of 128.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.82924107
If we subtract 6272 from 6400, we get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18.82924107 and a remainder of 1.28e-07.
