971986 divided by 22 
We're looking to find how many times 22 goes into 971986.

Step 1:
22 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 22

Moving on to step 2:
22 can be fit into 97 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 88 from 97 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 22

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 91 by 22, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 88 from 91 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 22

On to step 4:
The number 22 fits into 39 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 441.0
Subtract 22 from 39 to get 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 22

Step 5:
If we divide 178 by 22, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4418.0
Subtracting 176 from 178 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 22

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 26 by 22, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44181.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 22 from 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 22, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44181.1
Subtract 22 from 40 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 22, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 44181.18
If we take 176 away from 180, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
22 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44181.181
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 22 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
22 goes into 180 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44181.1818
If we take 176 away from 180, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 40 by 22, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 44181.18181
Deduct 22 from 40 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
22 goes into 180 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44181.181818
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 176 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
22 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44181.1818181
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 22 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
22 goes into 180 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44181.18181818
Deduct 176 from 180 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 44181.18181818 with a balance of 4e-09.
