We're dividing 6954468 by 401 
We want to divide 6954468 by 401.

On to step 1:
401 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 401

Step 2:
69 divided by 401 is 0 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 69 and we're left with 69.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 695 / 401

Moving on to step 3:
The number 401 fits into 695 1 times, leaving a remainder of 294.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 294 after subtracting 401 from 695.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 294 and continue with: 2944 / 401

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 2944 by 401, we get 7 with a remainder of 137.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 2807 from 2944 to get 137.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 137, then repeat: 1374 / 401

Let's proceed to step 5:
401 can be fit into 1374 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 171.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 173.0
If we take 1203 away from 1374, we end up with 171.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 171, then carry on: 1716 / 401

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 401 fits into 1716 4 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1734.0
The remainder is 112 after subtracting 1604 from 1716.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 112 and repeat the process: 1128 / 401

Step 7:
The number 401 fits into 1128 2 times, leaving a remainder of 326.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17342.0
Deduct 802 from 1128 and we're left with 326.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
401 goes into 3260 8 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17342.8
If we take 3208 away from 3260, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 401 fits into 520 1 times, leaving a remainder of 119.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17342.81
If we take 401 away from 520, we end up with 119.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1190, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 401 fits into 1190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 388.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17342.812
Subtract 802 from 1190 to get 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
401 goes into 3880 9 times with a remainder of 271.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17342.8129
Subtracting 3609 from 3880 leaves us with 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2710, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 401 fits into 2710 6 times, leaving a remainder of 304.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17342.81296
Subtract 2406 from 2710 to get 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
401 goes into 3040 7 times with a remainder of 233.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17342.812967
Deduct 2807 from 3040 and we're left with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 401 fits into 2330 5 times, leaving a remainder of 325.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17342.8129675
If we subtract 2005 from 2330, we get 325.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3250, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
401 goes into 3250 8 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17342.81296758
If we subtract 3208 from 3250, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17342.81296758 with a balance of 4.2e-08.
