We divide 16878608 by 470
We want to figure out the number of times 16878608 can be divided by 470.

Step 1:
1 divided by 470 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 470

Step 2:
16 divided by 470 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 470

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 168 by 470, we get 0 with a remainder of 168.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 168 to get 168.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 168 and repeat the process: 1687 / 470

On to step 4:
470 goes into 1687 3 times with a remainder of 277.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 1410 from 1687 and we're left with 277.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 277 and continue: 2778 / 470

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 2778 by 470, we get 5 and a remainder of 428.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 428 after subtracting 2350 from 2778.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 428 and continue: 4286 / 470

On to step 6:
4286 divided by 470 is 9 with a remainder of 56.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 359.0
If we subtract 4230 from 4286, we get 56.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 560 / 470

On to step 7:
The number 470 fits into 560 1 times, leaving a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3591.0
If we subtract 470 from 560, we get 90.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 90 and continue: 908 / 470

Moving on to step 8:
470 can be fit into 908 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 438.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 35911.0
If we subtract 470 from 908, we get 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 4380 by 470, we get 9 with a remainder of 150.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35911.9
If we take 4230 away from 4380, we end up with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1500 by 470, we get 3 and a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35911.93
Subtracting 1410 from 1500 leaves us with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 470 fits into 900 1 times, leaving a remainder of 430.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35911.931
If we subtract 470 from 900, we get 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 4300 by 470, we get 9 with a remainder of 70.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35911.9319
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 4230 from 4300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 13:
470 goes into 700 1 times with a remainder of 230.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35911.93191
If we take 470 away from 700, we end up with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 470 fits into 2300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 420.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35911.931914
If we take 1880 away from 2300, we end up with 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
4200 divided by 470 is 8 with a remainder of 440.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35911.9319148
If we take 3760 away from 4200, we end up with 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 470 fits into 4400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 170.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 35911.93191489
Deduct 4230 from 4400 and we're left with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 35911.93191489 and a remainder of 1.7e-07.
