We divide 21284938 by 983
We want to divide 21284938 by 983.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 983 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 983

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 983 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 983

Let's proceed to step 3:
212 divided by 983 is 0 with a remainder of 212.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 212 and we're left with 212.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 212 and continue: 2128 / 983

Moving on to step 4:
The number 983 fits into 2128 2 times, leaving a remainder of 162.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1966 away from 2128, we end up with 162.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 162, then carry on: 1624 / 983

Let's proceed to step 5:
983 goes into 1624 1 times with a remainder of 641.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 641 after subtracting 983 from 1624.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 641, then carry on: 6419 / 983

Step 6:
983 can be fit into 6419 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 521.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 216.0
The remainder is 521 after subtracting 5898 from 6419.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 521 and repeat the process: 5213 / 983

On to step 7:
The number 983 fits into 5213 5 times, leaving a remainder of 298.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2165.0
Subtract 4915 from 5213 to get 298.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 298, then repeat: 2988 / 983

Advancing to step 8:
983 goes into 2988 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21653.0
If we subtract 2949 from 2988, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
983 can be fit into 390 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 390.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21653.0
If we take 0 away from 390, we end up with 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3900, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
983 goes into 3900 3 times with a remainder of 951.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21653.03
Subtracting 2949 from 3900 leaves us with 951.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9510, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 9510 by 983, we get 9 and a remainder of 663.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21653.039
If we take 8847 away from 9510, we end up with 663.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 6630 by 983, we get 6 with a remainder of 732.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21653.0396
Deduct 5898 from 6630 and we're left with 732.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 983 fits into 7320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 439.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21653.03967
Subtracting 6881 from 7320 leaves us with 439.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4390, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 4390 by 983, we get 4 with a remainder of 458.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21653.039674
Deduct 3932 from 4390 and we're left with 458.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
4580 divided by 983 is 4 with a remainder of 648.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21653.0396744
Subtracting 3932 from 4580 leaves us with 648.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21653.0396744, and the remainder is 6.48e-06.
