1971685 ÷ 218 
Let's see how many times 218 fits into 1971685.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 218, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 218

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 19 by 218, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 197 / 218

On to step 3:
When dividing 197 by 218, we get 0 with a remainder of 197.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 197 to get 197.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 197 and continue with: 1971 / 218

Step 4:
218 can be fit into 1971 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 1962 from 1971, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 218

Moving on to step 5:
96 divided by 218 is 0 with a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 90.0
Subtracting 0 from 96 leaves us with 96.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 96, then carry on: 968 / 218

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 968 by 218, we get 4 and a remainder of 96.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 904.0
If we take 872 away from 968, we end up with 96.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 96, then carry on: 965 / 218

Step 7:
If we divide 965 by 218, we get 4 and a remainder of 93.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9044.0
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 872 from 965.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 218 fits into 930 4 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9044.4
Deduct 872 from 930 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
218 can be fit into 580 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9044.42
Deduct 436 from 580 and we're left with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 218 fits into 1440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9044.426
Subtract 1308 from 1440 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
218 goes into 1320 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9044.4266
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 1308 from 1320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9044.4266 and a remainder of 0.00012.
