We look at the division of 3184974 by 971 
We want to figure out the number of times 3184974 can be divided by 971.

On to step 1:
971 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 971

On to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 971, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 318 / 971

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 318 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 318.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 318, we end up with 318.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 318, then repeat: 3184 / 971

On to step 4:
971 can be fit into 3184 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 271.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 271 after subtracting 2913 from 3184.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 271 and repeat the process: 2719 / 971

On to step 5:
2719 divided by 971 is 2 with a remainder of 777.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 1942 from 2719 to get 777.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 777, then carry on: 7777 / 971

On to step 6:
971 can be fit into 7777 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 328.0
If we subtract 7768 from 7777, we get 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 971

Going ahead to step 7:
94 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3280.0
Subtracting 0 from 94 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 971 fits into 940 0 times, leaving a remainder of 940.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3280.0
If we take 0 away from 940, we end up with 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
971 goes into 9400 9 times with a remainder of 661.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3280.09
Subtract 8739 from 9400 to get 661.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
6610 divided by 971 is 6 with a remainder of 784.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3280.096
Subtracting 5826 from 6610 leaves us with 784.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 7840 by 971, we get 8 with a remainder of 72.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3280.0968
If we subtract 7768 from 7840, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
971 goes into 720 0 times with a remainder of 720.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3280.0968
If we subtract 0 from 720, we get 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
971 goes into 7200 7 times with a remainder of 403.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3280.096807
The remainder is 403 after subtracting 6797 from 7200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4030, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 4030 by 971, we get 4 with a remainder of 146.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3280.0968074
The remainder is 146 after subtracting 3884 from 4030.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 1460 by 971, we get 1 with a remainder of 489.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3280.09680741
Subtract 971 from 1460 to get 489.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4890, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3280.09680741, and the remainder is 4.89e-07.
