We're dividing 173681 by 7 
We're looking to find how many times 7 goes into 173681.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 7 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 7

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 7, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 14 from 17 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 7

Advancing to step 3:
33 divided by 7 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 28 from 33 to get 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 7

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 56 by 7, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 248.0
If we take 56 away from 56, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 7

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 8 by 7, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2481.0
If we take 7 away from 8, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 7

Step 6:
7 goes into 11 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24811.0
Deduct 7 from 11 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
7 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 24811.5
Deduct 35 from 40 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 7 fits into 50 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24811.57
Subtract 49 from 50 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 24811.571
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 7 from 10.
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 10:
30 divided by 7 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24811.5714
If we subtract 28 from 30, we get 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 11:
If we divide 20 by 7, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24811.57142
If we take 14 away from 20, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 7, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24811.571428
If we subtract 56 from 60, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 7 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24811.5714285
Subtract 35 from 40 to 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 7, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24811.57142857
If we subtract 49 from 50, 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.

The final outcome is 24811.57142857, with a leftover of 1e-09.
