Let's divide 43985 by 7
Our goal is to divide 43985 by 7.

Step 1:
4 divided by 7 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 7

Step 2:
When dividing 43 by 7, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 42 from 43 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 7

On to step 3:
The number 7 fits into 19 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtracting 14 from 19 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 7

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 7, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 628.0
Subtracting 56 from 58 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 7

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 25 by 7, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6283.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 21 from 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 40 by 7, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6283.5
If we subtract 35 from 40, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
7 goes into 50 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6283.57
Subtracting 49 from 50 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 10 by 7, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6283.571
Subtract 7 from 10 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
30 divided by 7 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6283.5714
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.

Advancing to step 10:
20 divided by 7 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6283.57142
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 7, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6283.571428
Subtract 56 from 60 to 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 40 by 7, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6283.5714285
If we subtract 35 from 40, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 50 by 7, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6283.57142857
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.

Our division results in 6283.57142857 with a remaining 1e-09.
