We're dividing 20846501 by 974 
Our goal is to divide 20846501 by 974.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 974

Step 2:
If we divide 20 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 974

Going ahead to step 3:
974 can be fit into 208 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 208.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 208 and we're left with 208.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 208, then repeat: 2084 / 974

Moving on to step 4:
974 goes into 2084 2 times with a remainder of 136.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1948 from 2084 to get 136.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 136, then repeat: 1366 / 974

Step 5:
When dividing 1366 by 974, we get 1 with a remainder of 392.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 974 from 1366, we get 392.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 392, then repeat: 3925 / 974

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 3925 by 974, we get 4 with a remainder of 29.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 214.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 3896 from 3925.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 290 / 974

On to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 974, we get 0 with a remainder of 290.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2140.0
If we take 0 away from 290, we end up with 290.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 290 and repeat the process: 2901 / 974

Advancing to step 8:
The number 974 fits into 2901 2 times, leaving a remainder of 953.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21402.0
Subtracting 1948 from 2901 leaves us with 953.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
974 goes into 9530 9 times with a remainder of 764.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21402.9
Subtract 8766 from 9530 to get 764.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
974 can be fit into 7640 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 822.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21402.97
If we take 6818 away from 7640, we end up with 822.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
974 goes into 8220 8 times with a remainder of 428.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21402.978
Deduct 7792 from 8220 and we're left with 428.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 974 fits into 4280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 384.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21402.9784
Subtract 3896 from 4280 to get 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 3840 by 974, we get 3 with a remainder of 918.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21402.97843
Subtract 2922 from 3840 to get 918.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 974 fits into 9180 9 times, leaving a remainder of 414.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21402.978439
Subtract 8766 from 9180 to get 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 4140 by 974, we get 4 with a remainder of 244.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21402.9784394
Subtract 3896 from 4140 to get 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 974 fits into 2440 2 times, leaving a remainder of 492.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21402.97843942
Deduct 1948 from 2440 and we're left with 492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4920, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 21402.97843942, with a leftover of 4.92e-07.
