Let's divide 2787931 by 974
We want to figure out the number of times 2787931 can be divided by 974.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 974

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 974

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 278.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 278, we get 278.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 278, then repeat: 2787 / 974

On to step 4:
2787 divided by 974 is 2 with a remainder of 839.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1948 away from 2787, we end up with 839.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 839 and continue with: 8399 / 974

Going ahead to step 5:
8399 divided by 974 is 8 with a remainder of 607.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 607 after subtracting 7792 from 8399.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 607, then repeat: 6073 / 974

Step 6:
974 can be fit into 6073 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 229.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 286.0
The remainder is 229 after subtracting 5844 from 6073.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 229 and repeat the process: 2291 / 974

Advancing to step 7:
The number 974 fits into 2291 2 times, leaving a remainder of 343.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2862.0
Subtracting 1948 from 2291 leaves us with 343.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3430, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 3430 by 974, we get 3 with a remainder of 508.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2862.3
The remainder is 508 after subtracting 2922 from 3430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 5080 by 974, we get 5 with a remainder of 210.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2862.35
The remainder is 210 after subtracting 4870 from 5080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
974 goes into 2100 2 times with a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2862.352
Subtract 1948 from 2100 to get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
1520 divided by 974 is 1 with a remainder of 546.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2862.3521
Subtracting 974 from 1520 leaves us with 546.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5460, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 974 fits into 5460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 590.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2862.35215
If we take 4870 away from 5460, we end up with 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 5900 by 974, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2862.352156
Subtract 5844 from 5900 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
974 goes into 560 0 times with a remainder of 560.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2862.352156
If we subtract 0 from 560, we get 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5600, and continue the process.

Step 15:
974 can be fit into 5600 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 730.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2862.35215605
If we subtract 4870 from 5600, we get 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7300, and continue the process.

The final result is 2862.35215605 with a remainder of 7.3e-07.
