16724487 divided by 974 
We want to divide 16724487 by 974.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 974 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 974

Moving on to step 2:
974 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 974

Step 3:
974 goes into 167 0 times with a remainder of 167.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 167, we end up with 167.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 167, then repeat: 1672 / 974

Going ahead to step 4:
1672 divided by 974 is 1 with a remainder of 698.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 974 from 1672 to get 698.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 698 and repeat the process: 6984 / 974

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 974 fits into 6984 7 times, leaving a remainder of 166.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 6818 from 6984 and we're left with 166.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 166, then carry on: 1664 / 974

Step 6:
974 can be fit into 1664 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 690.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171.0
Deduct 974 from 1664 and we're left with 690.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 690 and repeat the process: 6908 / 974

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 6908 by 974, we get 7 and a remainder of 90.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1717.0
If we take 6818 away from 6908, we end up with 90.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 90, then carry on: 907 / 974

Advancing to step 8:
974 goes into 907 0 times with a remainder of 907.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17170.0
If we take 0 away from 907, we end up with 907.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9070, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
9070 divided by 974 is 9 with a remainder of 304.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17170.9
Subtracting 8766 from 9070 leaves us with 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 3040 by 974, we get 3 and a remainder of 118.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17170.93
The remainder is 118 after subtracting 2922 from 3040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 974 fits into 1180 1 times, leaving a remainder of 206.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17170.931
If we take 974 away from 1180, we end up with 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
974 goes into 2060 2 times with a remainder of 112.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17170.9312
If we subtract 1948 from 2060, we get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 1120 by 974, we get 1 and a remainder of 146.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17170.93121
Subtract 974 from 1120 to get 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 974 fits into 1460 1 times, leaving a remainder of 486.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17170.931211
If we subtract 974 from 1460, we get 486.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

The final result is 17170.931211 with a remainder of 4.86e-05.
