We're dividing 970972 by 7 
We want to divide 970972 by 7.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 7, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 7 from 9, we get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 7

On to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 7, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 21 from 27 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 7

On to step 3:
The number 7 fits into 60 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138.0
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 7

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 49 by 7, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1387.0
Subtract 49 from 49 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 7

Step 5:
The number 7 fits into 7 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13871.0
Deduct 7 from 7 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 7

Advancing to step 6:
2 divided by 7 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138710.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 7 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138710.2
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.

Moving on to step 8:
60 divided by 7 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 138710.28
If we subtract 56 from 60, we get 4.
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 9:
If we divide 40 by 7, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138710.285
If we take 35 away from 40, we end up 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.

Step 10:
7 goes into 50 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 138710.2857
Deduct 49 from 50 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
7 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 138710.28571
Subtracting 7 from 10 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
7 can be fit into 30 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 138710.285714
If we take 28 away from 30, we end up 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 13:
7 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138710.2857142
If we take 14 away from 20, 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 7, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138710.28571428
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.

The final result is 138710.28571428 with a remainder of 4e-09.
