We're dividing 12697862 by 574 
We're looking to find how many times 574 goes into 12697862.

On to step 1:
The number 574 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 574

Advancing to step 2:
12 divided by 574 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 574

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 574 fits into 126 0 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 126 leaves us with 126.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 126, then repeat: 1269 / 574

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 574 fits into 1269 2 times, leaving a remainder of 121.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1148 away from 1269, we end up with 121.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 121, then carry on: 1217 / 574

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1217 by 574, we get 2 and a remainder of 69.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 1148 from 1217.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 698 / 574

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 698 by 574, we get 1 and a remainder of 124.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 221.0
Subtract 574 from 698 to get 124.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 124, then repeat: 1246 / 574

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 1246 by 574, we get 2 with a remainder of 98.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2212.0
Deduct 1148 from 1246 and we're left with 98.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 98 and continue with: 982 / 574

Going ahead to step 8:
982 divided by 574 is 1 with a remainder of 408.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22121.0
If we take 574 away from 982, we end up with 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 574 fits into 4080 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22121.7
Subtract 4018 from 4080 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
574 can be fit into 620 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22121.71
Deduct 574 from 620 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 460 by 574, we get 0 and a remainder of 460.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22121.71
Deduct 0 from 460 and we're left with 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Step 12:
574 goes into 4600 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 22121.7108
Deduct 4592 from 4600 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 574, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22121.7108
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 574 fits into 800 1 times, leaving a remainder of 226.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22121.710801
If we take 574 away from 800, we end up with 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
2260 divided by 574 is 3 with a remainder of 538.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22121.7108013
If we take 1722 away from 2260, we end up with 538.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
574 can be fit into 5380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 214.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22121.71080139
Subtracting 5166 from 5380 leaves us with 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 22121.71080139 and a remainder of 2.14e-07.
