Let's divide 2884974 by 501
We want to divide 2884974 by 501.

Step 1:
501 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 501

Step 2:
501 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 288 / 501

Moving on to step 3:
501 goes into 288 0 times with a remainder of 288.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 288 to get 288.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 288 and continue: 2884 / 501

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 2884 by 501, we get 5 and a remainder of 379.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 2505 from 2884, we get 379.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 379, then carry on: 3799 / 501

Step 5:
501 goes into 3799 7 times with a remainder of 292.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 3507 away from 3799, we end up with 292.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 292 and continue: 2927 / 501

On to step 6:
If we divide 2927 by 501, we get 5 and a remainder of 422.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 575.0
If we subtract 2505 from 2927, we get 422.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 422, then repeat: 4224 / 501

On to step 7:
501 can be fit into 4224 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 216.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5758.0
Subtracting 4008 from 4224 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
The number 501 fits into 2160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5758.4
Subtract 2004 from 2160 to get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 1560 by 501, we get 3 and a remainder of 57.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5758.43
If we subtract 1503 from 1560, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 501 fits into 570 1 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5758.431
Deduct 501 from 570 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
501 goes into 690 1 times with a remainder of 189.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5758.4311
The remainder is 189 after subtracting 501 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1890, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5758.4311 with a remaining 0.00189.
