We're dividing 16697678 by 735 
We want to figure out the number of times 16697678 can be divided by 735.

Advancing to step 1:
735 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 735

On to step 2:
735 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 166 / 735

Step 3:
166 divided by 735 is 0 with a remainder of 166.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 0 from 166.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 166, then repeat: 1669 / 735

Advancing to step 4:
The number 735 fits into 1669 2 times, leaving a remainder of 199.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 199 after subtracting 1470 from 1669.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 199, then repeat: 1997 / 735

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 735 fits into 1997 2 times, leaving a remainder of 527.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 527 after subtracting 1470 from 1997.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 527 and continue: 5276 / 735

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 5276 by 735, we get 7 with a remainder of 131.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 227.0
Deduct 5145 from 5276 and we're left with 131.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 131 and continue: 1317 / 735

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 1317 by 735, we get 1 with a remainder of 582.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2271.0
Subtracting 735 from 1317 leaves us with 582.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 582 and continue with: 5828 / 735

On to step 8:
5828 divided by 735 is 7 with a remainder of 683.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22717.0
Deduct 5145 from 5828 and we're left with 683.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6830, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 735 fits into 6830 9 times, leaving a remainder of 215.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22717.9
If we take 6615 away from 6830, we end up with 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 2150 by 735, we get 2 and a remainder of 680.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22717.92
Subtracting 1470 from 2150 leaves us with 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 6800 by 735, we get 9 and a remainder of 185.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22717.929
The remainder is 185 after subtracting 6615 from 6800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 1850 by 735, we get 2 and a remainder of 380.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22717.9292
Deduct 1470 from 1850 and we're left with 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
735 can be fit into 3800 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 125.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22717.92925
Deduct 3675 from 3800 and we're left with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
735 can be fit into 1250 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 515.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22717.929251
Subtract 735 from 1250 to get 515.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
5150 divided by 735 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22717.9292517
Subtract 5145 from 5150 to get 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 16:
The number 735 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22717.9292517
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 22717.9292517, with a leftover of 5e-08.
