We divide 16974 by 62
We want to divide 16974 by 62.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 62, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 62

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 62, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 62

Going ahead to step 3:
62 goes into 169 2 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 124 from 169, we get 45.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 457 / 62

On to step 4:
457 divided by 62 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 434 from 457 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 62

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 234 by 62, we get 3 and a remainder of 48.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 273.0
Subtract 186 from 234 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 480 by 62, we get 7 with a remainder of 46.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 273.7
If we take 434 away from 480, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 460 by 62, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 273.77
If we take 434 away from 460, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 273.77, and the remainder is 0.026.
