We look at the division of 6955974 by 996 
We're looking to find how many times 996 goes into 6955974.

Going ahead to step 1:
996 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 996

Step 2:
When dividing 69 by 996, we get 0 with a remainder of 69.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 69 leaves us with 69.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 695 / 996

Moving on to step 3:
996 goes into 695 0 times with a remainder of 695.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 695, we get 695.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 695 and repeat the process: 6955 / 996

On to step 4:
When dividing 6955 by 996, we get 6 with a remainder of 979.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 5976 from 6955 to get 979.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 979, then repeat: 9799 / 996

Going ahead to step 5:
9799 divided by 996 is 9 with a remainder of 835.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we take 8964 away from 9799, we end up with 835.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 835 and continue: 8357 / 996

Going ahead to step 6:
996 can be fit into 8357 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 389.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 698.0
Subtracting 7968 from 8357 leaves us with 389.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 389, then carry on: 3894 / 996

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 996 fits into 3894 3 times, leaving a remainder of 906.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6983.0
Subtracting 2988 from 3894 leaves us with 906.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
996 goes into 9060 9 times with a remainder of 96.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6983.9
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 8964 from 9060.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 960 by 996, we get 0 with a remainder of 960.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6983.9
Subtracting 0 from 960 leaves us with 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9600, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 9600 by 996, we get 9 with a remainder of 636.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6983.909
Deduct 8964 from 9600 and we're left with 636.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 6360 by 996, we get 6 with a remainder of 384.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6983.9096
If we take 5976 away from 6360, we end up with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
996 goes into 3840 3 times with a remainder of 852.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6983.90963
If we take 2988 away from 3840, we end up with 852.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
996 can be fit into 8520 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 552.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6983.909638
Subtract 7968 from 8520 to get 552.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 996 fits into 5520 5 times, leaving a remainder of 540.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6983.9096385
Deduct 4980 from 5520 and we're left with 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 5400 by 996, we get 5 and a remainder of 420.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6983.90963855
If we take 4980 away from 5400, we end up with 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6983.90963855, with a leftover of 4.2e-07.
