We're dividing 1659669 by 473 
We want to divide 1659669 by 473.

Moving on to step 1:
473 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 473

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 473 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 165 / 473

Step 3:
When dividing 165 by 473, we get 0 with a remainder of 165.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 165 to get 165.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 165, then repeat: 1659 / 473

On to step 4:
1659 divided by 473 is 3 with a remainder of 240.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 1419 from 1659 leaves us with 240.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 240 and repeat the process: 2406 / 473

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 2406 by 473, we get 5 with a remainder of 41.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 2365 away from 2406, we end up with 41.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 416 / 473

Going ahead to step 6:
473 goes into 416 0 times with a remainder of 416.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 350.0
Subtracting 0 from 416 leaves us with 416.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 416, then repeat: 4169 / 473

Advancing to step 7:
473 can be fit into 4169 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 385.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3508.0
Subtracting 3784 from 4169 leaves us with 385.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3850, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
473 goes into 3850 8 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3508.8
If we subtract 3784 from 3850, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
473 can be fit into 660 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 187.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3508.81
If we take 473 away from 660, we end up with 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
473 can be fit into 1870 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 451.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3508.813
If we take 1419 away from 1870, we end up with 451.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4510, and continue the process.

Step 11:
4510 divided by 473 is 9 with a remainder of 253.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3508.8139
If we take 4257 away from 4510, we end up with 253.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 473 fits into 2530 5 times, leaving a remainder of 165.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3508.81395
If we take 2365 away from 2530, we end up with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Step 13:
473 goes into 1650 3 times with a remainder of 231.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3508.813953
If we take 1419 away from 1650, we end up with 231.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2310, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
473 goes into 2310 4 times with a remainder of 418.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3508.8139534
If we take 1892 away from 2310, we end up with 418.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
473 goes into 4180 8 times with a remainder of 396.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3508.81395348
If we take 3784 away from 4180, we end up with 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3508.81395348 with a remaining 3.96e-07.
