43681587 ÷ 974 
We want to figure out the number of times 43681587 can be divided by 974.

Let's proceed to step 1:
974 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 974

On to step 2:
If we divide 43 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 43 and we're left with 43.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 436 / 974

Step 3:
436 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 436.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 436 and we're left with 436.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 436, then repeat: 4368 / 974

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 4368 by 974, we get 4 with a remainder of 472.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 3896 from 4368 leaves us with 472.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 472 and repeat the process: 4721 / 974

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 4721 by 974, we get 4 and a remainder of 825.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 3896 from 4721 leaves us with 825.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 825 and continue with: 8255 / 974

Step 6:
When dividing 8255 by 974, we get 8 with a remainder of 463.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 448.0
The remainder is 463 after subtracting 7792 from 8255.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 463 and repeat the process: 4638 / 974

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 4638 by 974, we get 4 and a remainder of 742.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4484.0
Subtracting 3896 from 4638 leaves us with 742.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 742 and repeat the process: 7427 / 974

Moving on to step 8:
The number 974 fits into 7427 7 times, leaving a remainder of 609.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44847.0
Subtracting 6818 from 7427 leaves us with 609.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6090, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
6090 divided by 974 is 6 with a remainder of 246.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44847.6
If we subtract 5844 from 6090, we get 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 2460 by 974, we get 2 and a remainder of 512.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44847.62
If we subtract 1948 from 2460, we get 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
5120 divided by 974 is 5 with a remainder of 250.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44847.625
Subtracting 4870 from 5120 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
974 can be fit into 2500 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 552.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44847.6252
If we subtract 1948 from 2500, we get 552.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
5520 divided by 974 is 5 with a remainder of 650.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44847.62525
Deduct 4870 from 5520 and we're left with 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
6500 divided by 974 is 6 with a remainder of 656.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44847.625256
If we subtract 5844 from 6500, we get 656.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6560, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
6560 divided by 974 is 6 with a remainder of 716.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44847.6252566
The remainder is 716 after subtracting 5844 from 6560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7160, and continue the process.

The final result is 44847.6252566 with a remainder of 7.16e-06.
