We look at the division of 71008499 by 977 
We want to figure out the number of times 71008499 can be divided by 977.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 977 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 977

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 977, we get 0 and a remainder of 71.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 71, we end up with 71.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 710 / 977

Step 3:
When dividing 710 by 977, we get 0 with a remainder of 710.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 710, we end up with 710.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 710 and continue: 7100 / 977

On to step 4:
977 goes into 7100 7 times with a remainder of 261.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 6839 from 7100, we get 261.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 261 and repeat the process: 2618 / 977

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 2618 by 977, we get 2 and a remainder of 664.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Deduct 1954 from 2618 and we're left with 664.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 664, then repeat: 6644 / 977

On to step 6:
If we divide 6644 by 977, we get 6 and a remainder of 782.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 726.0
If we take 5862 away from 6644, we end up with 782.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 782, then repeat: 7829 / 977

On to step 7:
The number 977 fits into 7829 8 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7268.0
If we subtract 7816 from 7829, we get 13.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 139 / 977

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 139 by 977, we get 0 with a remainder of 139.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72680.0
Deduct 0 from 139 and we're left with 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 1390 by 977, we get 1 with a remainder of 413.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72680.1
The remainder is 413 after subtracting 977 from 1390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
977 can be fit into 4130 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 222.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 72680.14
Subtracting 3908 from 4130 leaves us with 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
977 can be fit into 2220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 266.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72680.142
If we subtract 1954 from 2220, we get 266.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2660, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 2660 by 977, we get 2 and a remainder of 706.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72680.1422
The remainder is 706 after subtracting 1954 from 2660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7060, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 72680.1422 with a balance of 0.00706.
