461597 divided by 21 
We're looking to find how many times 21 goes into 461597.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 21, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 21

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 21, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 42 from 46, we get 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 21

Let's proceed to step 3:
21 goes into 41 1 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 21 away from 41, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 205 / 21

Step 4:
21 can be fit into 205 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 219.0
Subtracting 189 from 205 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 21

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 169 by 21, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2198.0
Deduct 168 from 169 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 21

On to step 6:
21 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21980.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
21 can be fit into 170 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21980.8
If we subtract 168 from 170, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
21 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21980.8
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
21 goes into 200 9 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21980.809
Subtract 189 from 200 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 110 by 21, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21980.8095
Deduct 105 from 110 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
21 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21980.80952
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 42 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 21, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21980.809523
If we subtract 63 from 80, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 170 by 21, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21980.8095238
Subtracting 168 from 170 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
20 divided by 21 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21980.8095238
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21980.8095238, and the remainder is 2e-08.
