Let's divide 8631968 by 997
We want to divide 8631968 by 997.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 997 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 997

Step 2:
86 divided by 997 is 0 with a remainder of 86.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 86, we end up with 86.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 86 and repeat the process: 863 / 997

On to step 3:
When dividing 863 by 997, we get 0 with a remainder of 863.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 863 and we're left with 863.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 863 and continue with: 8631 / 997

Moving on to step 4:
8631 divided by 997 is 8 with a remainder of 655.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 7976 from 8631, we get 655.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 655 and repeat the process: 6559 / 997

Going ahead to step 5:
6559 divided by 997 is 6 with a remainder of 577.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtract 5982 from 6559 to get 577.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 577 and continue: 5776 / 997

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 5776 by 997, we get 5 with a remainder of 791.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 865.0
The remainder is 791 after subtracting 4985 from 5776.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 791 and continue: 7918 / 997

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 7918 by 997, we get 7 with a remainder of 939.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8657.0
Deduct 6979 from 7918 and we're left with 939.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
9390 divided by 997 is 9 with a remainder of 417.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8657.9
Subtracting 8973 from 9390 leaves us with 417.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4170, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 4170 by 997, we get 4 with a remainder of 182.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8657.94
Subtracting 3988 from 4170 leaves us with 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1820 by 997, we get 1 with a remainder of 823.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8657.941
If we subtract 997 from 1820, we get 823.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8230, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
997 goes into 8230 8 times with a remainder of 254.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8657.9418
Deduct 7976 from 8230 and we're left with 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 2540 by 997, we get 2 with a remainder of 546.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8657.94182
The remainder is 546 after subtracting 1994 from 2540.
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 13:
997 can be fit into 5460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 475.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8657.941825
Subtract 4985 from 5460 to get 475.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4750, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 997 fits into 4750 4 times, leaving a remainder of 762.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8657.9418254
Deduct 3988 from 4750 and we're left with 762.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 7620 by 997, we get 7 with a remainder of 641.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8657.94182547
If we take 6979 away from 7620, we end up with 641.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6410, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8657.94182547 with a remaining 6.41e-07.
