Let's divide 8731796 by 401
We want to figure out the number of times 8731796 can be divided by 401.

Moving on to step 1:
401 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 401

On to step 2:
401 goes into 87 0 times with a remainder of 87.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 0 from 87.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 87 and repeat the process: 873 / 401

Advancing to step 3:
401 can be fit into 873 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 802 from 873, we get 71.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 711 / 401

Step 4:
When dividing 711 by 401, we get 1 with a remainder of 310.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 310 after subtracting 401 from 711.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 310 and continue: 3107 / 401

Going ahead to step 5:
401 goes into 3107 7 times with a remainder of 300.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we subtract 2807 from 3107, we get 300.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 300, then repeat: 3009 / 401

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 3009 by 401, we get 7 with a remainder of 202.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2177.0
Subtracting 2807 from 3009 leaves us with 202.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 202 and continue: 2026 / 401

Going ahead to step 7:
2026 divided by 401 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21775.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 2005 from 2026.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 401 fits into 210 0 times, leaving a remainder of 210.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21775.0
Subtracting 0 from 210 leaves us with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
401 goes into 2100 5 times with a remainder of 95.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21775.05
Subtract 2005 from 2100 to get 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 950 by 401, we get 2 with a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21775.052
If we take 802 away from 950, we end up with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 1480 by 401, we get 3 with a remainder of 277.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21775.0523
If we subtract 1203 from 1480, we get 277.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
401 can be fit into 2770 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 364.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21775.05236
The remainder is 364 after subtracting 2406 from 2770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 3640 by 401, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21775.052369
Deduct 3609 from 3640 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 401 fits into 310 0 times, leaving a remainder of 310.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21775.052369
If we subtract 0 from 310, we get 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3100, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
3100 divided by 401 is 7 with a remainder of 293.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21775.05236907
The remainder is 293 after subtracting 2807 from 3100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2930, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21775.05236907, and the remainder is 2.93e-07.
