Let's divide 38979117 by 697
We want to divide 38979117 by 697.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 697, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 697

Moving on to step 2:
697 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 697

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 697 fits into 389 0 times, leaving a remainder of 389.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 389 and we're left with 389.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 389, then repeat: 3897 / 697

Step 4:
697 can be fit into 3897 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 412.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 3485 from 3897 and we're left with 412.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 412, then repeat: 4129 / 697

Step 5:
If we divide 4129 by 697, we get 5 and a remainder of 644.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 3485 from 4129, we get 644.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 644 and repeat the process: 6441 / 697

Advancing to step 6:
The number 697 fits into 6441 9 times, leaving a remainder of 168.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 559.0
If we take 6273 away from 6441, we end up with 168.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 168 and repeat the process: 1681 / 697

On to step 7:
697 goes into 1681 2 times with a remainder of 287.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5592.0
The remainder is 287 after subtracting 1394 from 1681.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 287, then carry on: 2877 / 697

Step 8:
697 can be fit into 2877 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 89.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55924.0
Deduct 2788 from 2877 and we're left with 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
890 divided by 697 is 1 with a remainder of 193.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55924.1
If we subtract 697 from 890, we get 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 697 fits into 1930 2 times, leaving a remainder of 536.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55924.12
If we take 1394 away from 1930, we end up with 536.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
5360 divided by 697 is 7 with a remainder of 481.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55924.127
If we subtract 4879 from 5360, we get 481.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4810, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 4810 by 697, we get 6 with a remainder of 628.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55924.1276
The remainder is 628 after subtracting 4182 from 4810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
6280 divided by 697 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55924.12769
If we subtract 6273 from 6280, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 697 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 55924.12769
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
697 can be fit into 700 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 55924.1276901
If we subtract 697 from 700, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
697 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55924.1276901
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final result is 55924.1276901 with a remainder of 3e-08.
