1976857 divided by 501 
We're looking to find how many times 501 goes into 1976857.

Step 1:
501 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 501

Moving on to step 2:
501 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 197 / 501

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 197 by 501, we get 0 with a remainder of 197.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 197, we end up with 197.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 197 and continue with: 1976 / 501

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 1976 by 501, we get 3 and a remainder of 473.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 473 after subtracting 1503 from 1976.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 473, then carry on: 4738 / 501

Moving on to step 5:
501 can be fit into 4738 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 229.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 4509 from 4738 to get 229.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 229, then repeat: 2295 / 501

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 2295 by 501, we get 4 with a remainder of 291.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 394.0
Subtracting 2004 from 2295 leaves us with 291.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 291, then carry on: 2917 / 501

Advancing to step 7:
501 goes into 2917 5 times with a remainder of 412.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3945.0
If we subtract 2505 from 2917, we get 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
501 goes into 4120 8 times with a remainder of 112.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3945.8
The remainder is 112 after subtracting 4008 from 4120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
501 goes into 1120 2 times with a remainder of 118.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3945.82
If we subtract 1002 from 1120, we get 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1180 by 501, we get 2 with a remainder of 178.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3945.822
Deduct 1002 from 1180 and we're left with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3945.822 with a balance of 0.0178.
