72286786 divided by 997 
Let's see how many times 997 fits into 72286786.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 997, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 997

On to step 2:
997 can be fit into 72 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 722 / 997

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 997 fits into 722 0 times, leaving a remainder of 722.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 722 leaves us with 722.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 722 and continue: 7228 / 997

Going ahead to step 4:
7228 divided by 997 is 7 with a remainder of 249.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 6979 from 7228, we get 249.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 249 and repeat the process: 2496 / 997

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 2496 by 997, we get 2 and a remainder of 502.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 1994 from 2496 leaves us with 502.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 502 and repeat the process: 5027 / 997

On to step 6:
5027 divided by 997 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 725.0
If we take 4985 away from 5027, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 428 / 997

On to step 7:
428 divided by 997 is 0 with a remainder of 428.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7250.0
If we take 0 away from 428, we end up with 428.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 428 and continue: 4286 / 997

On to step 8:
If we divide 4286 by 997, we get 4 and a remainder of 298.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 72504.0
Deduct 3988 from 4286 and we're left with 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 997 fits into 2980 2 times, leaving a remainder of 986.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72504.2
Subtracting 1994 from 2980 leaves us with 986.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9860, and continue the process.

Step 10:
9860 divided by 997 is 9 with a remainder of 887.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72504.29
If we subtract 8973 from 9860, we get 887.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8870, and continue the process.

Step 11:
997 goes into 8870 8 times with a remainder of 894.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72504.298
If we subtract 7976 from 8870, we get 894.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8940, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
8940 divided by 997 is 8 with a remainder of 964.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 72504.2988
Subtract 7976 from 8940 to get 964.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 72504.2988 with a remaining 0.00964.
