174697 ÷ 21 
We want to figure out the number of times 174697 can be divided by 21.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 21 fits into 1 0 times, leaving 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.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 21

Step 2:
21 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 21

Going ahead to step 3:
174 divided by 21 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 168 from 174.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 66 / 21

Moving on to step 4:
21 goes into 66 3 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 63 from 66.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 21

Step 5:
When dividing 39 by 21, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 831.0
Deduct 21 from 39 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 21

On to step 6:
21 can be fit into 187 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8318.0
Subtract 168 from 187 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 21 fits into 190 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8318.9
Subtract 189 from 190 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 21 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8318.9
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 21 fits into 100 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8318.904
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 21 fits into 160 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8318.9047
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 147 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
21 goes into 130 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8318.90476
Deduct 126 from 130 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 21, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8318.904761
Deduct 21 from 40 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
190 divided by 21 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8318.9047619
Subtract 189 from 190 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
10 divided by 21 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8318.9047619
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8318.9047619, and the remainder is 1e-08.
