Let's divide 207981 by 5
We're looking to find how many times 5 goes into 207981.

On to step 1:
The number 5 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 5

Going ahead to step 2:
5 can be fit into 20 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 20 from 20.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
7 divided by 5 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we take 5 away from 7, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 5

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 29 by 5, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 415.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 25 from 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 5

On to step 5:
5 can be fit into 48 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4159.0
If we take 45 away from 48, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 5

Going ahead to step 6:
31 divided by 5 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41596.0
If we subtract 30 from 31, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
10 divided by 5 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41596.2
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 41596.2
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 41596.2
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 41596.2 and a remainder of 0.0.
