We look at the division of 997977 by 73 
We're looking to find how many times 73 goes into 997977.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 73 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
99 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 73 from 99.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 267 / 73

Step 3:
267 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 219 from 267, we get 48.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 489 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 489 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 51.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 136.0
Subtracting 438 from 489 leaves us with 51.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 517 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 can be fit into 517 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1367.0
If we subtract 511 from 517, we get 6.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 67 / 73

On to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 67 0 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13670.0
Deduct 0 from 67 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
670 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13670.9
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 657 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
73 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13670.91
If we take 73 away from 130, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
73 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13670.917
Deduct 511 from 570 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
73 goes into 590 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13670.9178
If we take 584 away from 590, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
60 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13670.9178
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13670.917808
Subtract 584 from 600 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
73 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13670.9178082
If we subtract 146 from 160, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13670.91780821
Subtract 73 from 140 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13670.91780821, and the remainder is 6.7e-08.
