We're dividing 2170974 by 696 
We want to figure out the number of times 2170974 can be divided by 696.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 696 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 696

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 696, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 696

Advancing to step 3:
696 goes into 217 0 times with a remainder of 217.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 217 and we're left with 217.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 217, then carry on: 2170 / 696

Step 4:
If we divide 2170 by 696, we get 3 and a remainder of 82.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 2088 away from 2170, we end up with 82.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 82, then carry on: 829 / 696

Advancing to step 5:
696 goes into 829 1 times with a remainder of 133.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 696 from 829 leaves us with 133.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 133, then repeat: 1337 / 696

Going ahead to step 6:
696 goes into 1337 1 times with a remainder of 641.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 311.0
The remainder is 641 after subtracting 696 from 1337.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 641 and continue: 6414 / 696

Step 7:
696 goes into 6414 9 times with a remainder of 150.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3119.0
If we subtract 6264 from 6414, we get 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
696 goes into 1500 2 times with a remainder of 108.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3119.2
The remainder is 108 after subtracting 1392 from 1500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 1080 by 696, we get 1 with a remainder of 384.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3119.21
The remainder is 384 after subtracting 696 from 1080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 3840 by 696, we get 5 and a remainder of 360.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3119.215
If we take 3480 away from 3840, we end up with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 696 fits into 3600 5 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3119.2155
Subtracting 3480 from 3600 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3119.2155 with a remaining 0.0012.
