We divide 71979487 by 597
We're looking to find how many times 597 goes into 71979487.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 597, we get 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.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 597

On to step 2:
597 can be fit into 71 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 71 and we're left with 71.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 719 / 597

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 597 fits into 719 1 times, leaving a remainder of 122.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 597 from 719, we get 122.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 122 and continue with: 1227 / 597

Step 4:
The number 597 fits into 1227 2 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 1194 from 1227 leaves us with 33.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 339 / 597

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 339 by 597, we get 0 with a remainder of 339.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
Subtract 0 from 339 to get 339.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 339, then repeat: 3394 / 597

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 3394 by 597, we get 5 and a remainder of 409.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1205.0
Subtracting 2985 from 3394 leaves us with 409.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 409 and continue: 4098 / 597

Advancing to step 7:
597 can be fit into 4098 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 516.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12056.0
Deduct 3582 from 4098 and we're left with 516.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 516 and continue: 5167 / 597

Moving on to step 8:
597 can be fit into 5167 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 391.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120568.0
The remainder is 391 after subtracting 4776 from 5167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3910, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 3910 by 597, we get 6 with a remainder of 328.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120568.6
Subtract 3582 from 3910 to get 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 3280 by 597, we get 5 with a remainder of 295.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120568.65
Deduct 2985 from 3280 and we're left with 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
597 can be fit into 2950 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 562.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120568.654
Deduct 2388 from 2950 and we're left with 562.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
5620 divided by 597 is 9 with a remainder of 247.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 120568.6549
Subtract 5373 from 5620 to get 247.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2470, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 597 fits into 2470 4 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120568.65494
Deduct 2388 from 2470 and we're left with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 820 by 597, we get 1 with a remainder of 223.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120568.654941
The remainder is 223 after subtracting 597 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
597 goes into 2230 3 times with a remainder of 439.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120568.6549413
If we subtract 1791 from 2230, we get 439.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 4390 by 597, we get 7 and a remainder of 211.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120568.65494137
Deduct 4179 from 4390 and we're left with 211.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2110, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 120568.65494137 and a remainder of 2.11e-07.
