Let's divide 516947 by 7
We want to divide 516947 by 7.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 7, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 7

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 7, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 49 from 51 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 7

Let's proceed to step 3:
7 goes into 26 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we take 21 away from 26, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 7

Let's proceed to step 4:
7 goes into 59 8 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 738.0
If we subtract 56 from 59, we get 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 7

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 34 by 7, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7384.0
Subtract 28 from 34 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 7

Going ahead to step 6:
7 goes into 67 9 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 73849.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 63 from 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 divided by 7 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 73849.5
Subtracting 35 from 40 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 7 fits into 50 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 73849.57
If we take 49 away from 50, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
7 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73849.571
Deduct 7 from 10 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
7 goes into 30 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73849.5714
Deduct 28 from 30 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 20 by 7, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73849.57142
Subtract 14 from 20 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 7 fits into 60 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73849.571428
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 56 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 7 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73849.5714285
Subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 7, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73849.57142857
If we take 49 away from 50, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 73849.57142857 with a remaining 1e-09.
