We divide 21974543 by 973
Our goal is to divide 21974543 by 973.

Going ahead to step 1:
973 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 973

Step 2:
If we divide 21 by 973, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 973

Advancing to step 3:
219 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 219.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 219 to get 219.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 219, then repeat: 2197 / 973

Step 4:
The number 973 fits into 2197 2 times, leaving a remainder of 251.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 1946 from 2197 and we're left with 251.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 251, then carry on: 2514 / 973

Step 5:
If we divide 2514 by 973, we get 2 and a remainder of 568.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 568 after subtracting 1946 from 2514.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 568, then repeat: 5685 / 973

Moving on to step 6:
973 goes into 5685 5 times with a remainder of 820.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 225.0
Subtract 4865 from 5685 to get 820.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 820 and repeat the process: 8204 / 973

Moving on to step 7:
973 can be fit into 8204 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 420.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2258.0
Subtract 7784 from 8204 to get 420.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 420 and continue with: 4203 / 973

On to step 8:
The number 973 fits into 4203 4 times, leaving a remainder of 311.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22584.0
The remainder is 311 after subtracting 3892 from 4203.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3110, and continue the process.

Step 9:
973 goes into 3110 3 times with a remainder of 191.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22584.3
Subtracting 2919 from 3110 leaves us with 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1910, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
1910 divided by 973 is 1 with a remainder of 937.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22584.31
Subtract 973 from 1910 to get 937.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
973 can be fit into 9370 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 613.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22584.319
If we take 8757 away from 9370, we end up with 613.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6130, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
973 can be fit into 6130 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 292.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22584.3196
If we take 5838 away from 6130, we end up with 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
973 goes into 2920 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22584.31963
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 2919 from 2920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 10 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22584.31963
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
973 can be fit into 100 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 100.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22584.31963
If we subtract 0 from 100, we get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 22584.31963, with a leftover of 1e-06.
