Let's divide 482864 by 21
We want to divide 482864 by 21.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 21, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 21

Moving on to step 2:
21 can be fit into 48 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 42 from 48, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 62 / 21

Let's proceed to step 3:
21 can be fit into 62 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 42 from 62 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 21

On to step 4:
21 can be fit into 208 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 229.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 189 from 208.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 21

Advancing to step 5:
21 can be fit into 196 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2299.0
If we take 189 away from 196, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 21

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 74 by 21, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22993.0
If we take 63 away from 74, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 21 fits into 110 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 22993.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 105 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 21, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22993.52
Subtract 42 from 50 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
21 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22993.523
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 63 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
170 divided by 21 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22993.5238
If we take 168 away from 170, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 21 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22993.5238
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
200 divided by 21 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22993.523809
If we subtract 189 from 200, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
21 can be fit into 110 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 22993.5238095
If we take 105 away from 110, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 21, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22993.52380952
Deduct 42 from 50 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 22993.52380952 with a balance of 8e-09.
