We're dividing 21701959 by 496 
We want to figure out the number of times 21701959 can be divided by 496.

Moving on to step 1:
496 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 496

On to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 496, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 496

Moving on to step 3:
The number 496 fits into 217 0 times, leaving a remainder of 217.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 217, we get 217.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 217 and repeat the process: 2170 / 496

On to step 4:
The number 496 fits into 2170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 186.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 1984 from 2170, we get 186.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 186 and repeat the process: 1861 / 496

Step 5:
496 goes into 1861 3 times with a remainder of 373.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 1488 from 1861, we get 373.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 373, then repeat: 3739 / 496

Step 6:
If we divide 3739 by 496, we get 7 and a remainder of 267.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 437.0
If we subtract 3472 from 3739, we get 267.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 267 and continue: 2675 / 496

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 2675 by 496, we get 5 with a remainder of 195.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4375.0
Deduct 2480 from 2675 and we're left with 195.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 195 and continue: 1959 / 496

Step 8:
The number 496 fits into 1959 3 times, leaving a remainder of 471.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43753.0
The remainder is 471 after subtracting 1488 from 1959.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 496 fits into 4710 9 times, leaving a remainder of 246.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43753.9
Subtract 4464 from 4710 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 2460 by 496, we get 4 and a remainder of 476.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43753.94
The remainder is 476 after subtracting 1984 from 2460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 496 fits into 4760 9 times, leaving a remainder of 296.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43753.949
Subtract 4464 from 4760 to get 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 496 fits into 2960 5 times, leaving a remainder of 480.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 43753.9495
If we subtract 2480 from 2960, we get 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 496 fits into 4800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 336.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43753.94959
Subtract 4464 from 4800 to get 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
3360 divided by 496 is 6 with a remainder of 384.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43753.949596
If we take 2976 away from 3360, we end up with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 3840 by 496, we get 7 with a remainder of 368.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43753.9495967
Subtract 3472 from 3840 to get 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

Step 16:
3680 divided by 496 is 7 with a remainder of 208.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43753.94959677
If we subtract 3472 from 3680, we get 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

The final result is 43753.94959677 with a remainder of 2.08e-07.
