We divide 7878989 by 973
We want to figure out the number of times 7878989 can be divided by 973.

Going ahead to step 1:
973 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 973

On to step 2:
When dividing 78 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 78.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 78 to get 78.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 787 / 973

On to step 3:
If we divide 787 by 973, we get 0 and a remainder of 787.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 787, we end up with 787.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 787 and continue with: 7878 / 973

On to step 4:
973 goes into 7878 8 times with a remainder of 94.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 7784 from 7878 and we're left with 94.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 94 and continue with: 949 / 973

Step 5:
When dividing 949 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 949.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 80.0
Subtract 0 from 949 to get 949.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 949, then carry on: 9498 / 973

Step 6:
When dividing 9498 by 973, we get 9 with a remainder of 741.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 809.0
If we take 8757 away from 9498, we end up with 741.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 741, then repeat: 7419 / 973

Step 7:
7419 divided by 973 is 7 with a remainder of 608.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8097.0
If we take 6811 away from 7419, we end up with 608.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
973 goes into 6080 6 times with a remainder of 242.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8097.6
If we take 5838 away from 6080, we end up with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 973 fits into 2420 2 times, leaving a remainder of 474.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8097.62
Subtract 1946 from 2420 to get 474.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 4740 by 973, we get 4 and a remainder of 848.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8097.624
If we subtract 3892 from 4740, we get 848.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
973 can be fit into 8480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 696.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8097.6248
If we subtract 7784 from 8480, we get 696.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6960, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
973 goes into 6960 7 times with a remainder of 149.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8097.62487
The remainder is 149 after subtracting 6811 from 6960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
973 goes into 1490 1 times with a remainder of 517.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8097.624871
Deduct 973 from 1490 and we're left with 517.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
973 goes into 5170 5 times with a remainder of 305.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8097.6248715
If we subtract 4865 from 5170, we get 305.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3050, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 3050 by 973, we get 3 and a remainder of 131.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8097.62487153
The remainder is 131 after subtracting 2919 from 3050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8097.62487153 with a remaining 1.31e-07.
