We divide 98718543 by 997
Our goal is to divide 98718543 by 997.

On to step 1:
The number 997 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 997

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 997, we get 0 with a remainder of 98.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 98 leaves us with 98.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 98 and repeat the process: 987 / 997

Going ahead to step 3:
987 divided by 997 is 0 with a remainder of 987.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 987 leaves us with 987.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 987, then repeat: 9871 / 997

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 997 fits into 9871 9 times, leaving a remainder of 898.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 8973 from 9871 and we're left with 898.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 898, then repeat: 8988 / 997

On to step 5:
997 goes into 8988 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 99.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 8973 from 8988.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 155 / 997

Moving on to step 6:
997 goes into 155 0 times with a remainder of 155.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 990.0
The remainder is 155 after subtracting 0 from 155.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 155, then carry on: 1554 / 997

On to step 7:
997 goes into 1554 1 times with a remainder of 557.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9901.0
Deduct 997 from 1554 and we're left with 557.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 557, then carry on: 5573 / 997

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 5573 by 997, we get 5 with a remainder of 588.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99015.0
The remainder is 588 after subtracting 4985 from 5573.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5880, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
5880 divided by 997 is 5 with a remainder of 895.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99015.5
Subtracting 4985 from 5880 leaves us with 895.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8950, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
997 goes into 8950 8 times with a remainder of 974.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99015.58
Subtract 7976 from 8950 to get 974.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9740, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
997 goes into 9740 9 times with a remainder of 767.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99015.589
Subtract 8973 from 9740 to get 767.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
997 goes into 7670 7 times with a remainder of 691.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99015.5897
Deduct 6979 from 7670 and we're left with 691.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6910, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
997 goes into 6910 6 times with a remainder of 928.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99015.58976
If we subtract 5982 from 6910, we get 928.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 9280 by 997, we get 9 with a remainder of 307.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99015.589769
The remainder is 307 after subtracting 8973 from 9280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3070, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
997 can be fit into 3070 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99015.5897693
Subtract 2991 from 3070 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
997 goes into 790 0 times with a remainder of 790.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99015.5897693
If we subtract 0 from 790, we get 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7900, and continue the process.

The final result is 99015.5897693 with a remainder of 7.9e-07.
