We divide 16769785 by 974
We want to divide 16769785 by 974.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 974, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 974

Moving on to step 2:
974 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 974

Step 3:
167 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 167.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 167, we end up with 167.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 167, then repeat: 1676 / 974

Step 4:
974 goes into 1676 1 times with a remainder of 702.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 702 after subtracting 974 from 1676.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 702 and continue: 7029 / 974

On to step 5:
974 can be fit into 7029 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 211.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 6818 away from 7029, we end up with 211.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 211, then repeat: 2117 / 974

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 2117 by 974, we get 2 with a remainder of 169.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 172.0
If we take 1948 away from 2117, we end up with 169.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 169 and continue with: 1698 / 974

Advancing to step 7:
The number 974 fits into 1698 1 times, leaving a remainder of 724.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1721.0
Deduct 974 from 1698 and we're left with 724.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 724 and continue: 7245 / 974

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 7245 by 974, we get 7 and a remainder of 427.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17217.0
If we take 6818 away from 7245, we end up with 427.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
974 can be fit into 4270 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 374.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17217.4
Subtracting 3896 from 4270 leaves us with 374.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
974 can be fit into 3740 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 818.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17217.43
If we subtract 2922 from 3740, we get 818.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 8180 by 974, we get 8 with a remainder of 388.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17217.438
If we take 7792 away from 8180, we end up with 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Step 12:
974 can be fit into 3880 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 958.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17217.4383
Subtracting 2922 from 3880 leaves us with 958.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9580, and continue the process.

Step 13:
974 can be fit into 9580 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 814.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17217.43839
If we take 8766 away from 9580, we end up with 814.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 8140 by 974, we get 8 with a remainder of 348.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17217.438398
Subtract 7792 from 8140 to get 348.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
974 can be fit into 3480 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 558.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17217.4383983
Subtracting 2922 from 3480 leaves us with 558.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
974 can be fit into 5580 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 710.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17217.43839835
Subtract 4870 from 5580 to get 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17217.43839835 with a balance of 7.1e-07.
