We're dividing 76897709 by 481 
We want to divide 76897709 by 481.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 481 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 481

Step 2:
The number 481 fits into 76 0 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 76, we end up with 76.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 768 / 481

Going ahead to step 3:
768 divided by 481 is 1 with a remainder of 287.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 481 from 768 and we're left with 287.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 287, then repeat: 2879 / 481

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 2879 by 481, we get 5 and a remainder of 474.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 2405 away from 2879, we end up with 474.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 474 and continue: 4747 / 481

Going ahead to step 5:
4747 divided by 481 is 9 with a remainder of 418.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159.0
Deduct 4329 from 4747 and we're left with 418.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 418 and continue: 4187 / 481

Step 6:
When dividing 4187 by 481, we get 8 with a remainder of 339.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1598.0
Subtracting 3848 from 4187 leaves us with 339.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 339, then repeat: 3390 / 481

Step 7:
The number 481 fits into 3390 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15987.0
Subtract 3367 from 3390 to get 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 481

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 239 by 481, we get 0 with a remainder of 239.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159870.0
The remainder is 239 after subtracting 0 from 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 481 fits into 2390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 466.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159870.4
If we subtract 1924 from 2390, we get 466.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 4660 by 481, we get 9 with a remainder of 331.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159870.49
The remainder is 331 after subtracting 4329 from 4660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3310, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 3310 by 481, we get 6 and a remainder of 424.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159870.496
The remainder is 424 after subtracting 2886 from 3310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 4240 by 481, we get 8 and a remainder of 392.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159870.4968
Subtracting 3848 from 4240 leaves us with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
481 goes into 3920 8 times with a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159870.49688
Deduct 3848 from 3920 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 159870.49688 with a remaining 7.2e-05.
