We look at the division of 2440173 by 310 
We want to divide 2440173 by 310.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 310, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 310

Step 2:
310 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 310

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 310 fits into 244 0 times, leaving a remainder of 244.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 244, we get 244.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 244, then repeat: 2440 / 310

Advancing to step 4:
310 can be fit into 2440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 270.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 2170 away from 2440, we end up with 270.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 270, then repeat: 2701 / 310

On to step 5:
310 can be fit into 2701 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 221.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we subtract 2480 from 2701, we get 221.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 221, then carry on: 2217 / 310

On to step 6:
2217 divided by 310 is 7 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 787.0
Subtract 2170 from 2217 to get 47.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 473 / 310

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 473 by 310, we get 1 with a remainder of 163.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7871.0
Subtract 310 from 473 to get 163.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 310 fits into 1630 5 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7871.5
Deduct 1550 from 1630 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
800 divided by 310 is 2 with a remainder of 180.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7871.52
The remainder is 180 after subtracting 620 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
310 can be fit into 1800 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 250.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7871.525
Deduct 1550 from 1800 and we're left with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
2500 divided by 310 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7871.5258
Subtract 2480 from 2500 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 310, we get 0 with a remainder of 200.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7871.5258
Deduct 0 from 200 and we're left with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 2000 by 310, we get 6 and a remainder of 140.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7871.525806
Subtract 1860 from 2000 to get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 1400 by 310, we get 4 and a remainder of 160.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7871.5258064
Subtract 1240 from 1400 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 1600 by 310, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7871.52580645
Subtract 1550 from 1600 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7871.52580645 with a remaining 5e-08.
