We're dividing 1682985 by 551 
Let's see how many times 551 fits into 1682985.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 551 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 551

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 551, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 551

On to step 3:
When dividing 168 by 551, we get 0 with a remainder of 168.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 168 and we're left with 168.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 168, then repeat: 1682 / 551

On to step 4:
If we divide 1682 by 551, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 1653 from 1682 and we're left with 29.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 299 / 551

Going ahead to step 5:
299 divided by 551 is 0 with a remainder of 299.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 299, we get 299.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 299, then repeat: 2998 / 551

On to step 6:
551 goes into 2998 5 times with a remainder of 243.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 305.0
Subtract 2755 from 2998 to get 243.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 243, then carry on: 2435 / 551

Going ahead to step 7:
551 goes into 2435 4 times with a remainder of 231.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3054.0
Subtracting 2204 from 2435 leaves us with 231.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
2310 divided by 551 is 4 with a remainder of 106.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3054.4
Subtracting 2204 from 2310 leaves us with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
551 goes into 1060 1 times with a remainder of 509.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3054.41
If we take 551 away from 1060, we end up with 509.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5090, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
551 goes into 5090 9 times with a remainder of 131.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3054.419
Subtracting 4959 from 5090 leaves us with 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
551 can be fit into 1310 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 208.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3054.4192
The remainder is 208 after subtracting 1102 from 1310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 2080 by 551, we get 3 and a remainder of 427.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3054.41923
If we subtract 1653 from 2080, we get 427.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4270, and continue the process.

Step 13:
551 can be fit into 4270 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 413.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3054.419237
If we subtract 3857 from 4270, we get 413.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 551 fits into 4130 7 times, leaving a remainder of 273.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3054.4192377
Subtracting 3857 from 4130 leaves us with 273.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2730, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3054.4192377 with a balance of 2.73e-06.
