We look at the division of 71291351 by 977 
Our goal is to divide 71291351 by 977.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 977 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 977

Step 2:
977 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 71 and we're left with 71.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 712 / 977

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 712 by 977, we get 0 with a remainder of 712.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 712 after subtracting 0 from 712.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 712 and continue: 7129 / 977

Going ahead to step 4:
977 can be fit into 7129 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 290.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 6839 from 7129 to get 290.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 290 and continue: 2901 / 977

Step 5:
2901 divided by 977 is 2 with a remainder of 947.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 1954 away from 2901, we end up with 947.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 947, then carry on: 9473 / 977

Advancing to step 6:
977 can be fit into 9473 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 680.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 729.0
The remainder is 680 after subtracting 8793 from 9473.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 680 and continue: 6805 / 977

On to step 7:
If we divide 6805 by 977, we get 6 and a remainder of 943.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7296.0
Deduct 5862 from 6805 and we're left with 943.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 943 and continue with: 9431 / 977

On to step 8:
977 goes into 9431 9 times with a remainder of 638.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 72969.0
Subtract 8793 from 9431 to get 638.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
6380 divided by 977 is 6 with a remainder of 518.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72969.6
The remainder is 518 after subtracting 5862 from 6380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 977 fits into 5180 5 times, leaving a remainder of 295.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 72969.65
Deduct 4885 from 5180 and we're left with 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 2950 by 977, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72969.653
If we subtract 2931 from 2950, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 190 by 977, we get 0 and a remainder of 190.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 72969.653
Subtracting 0 from 190 leaves us with 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 1900 by 977, we get 1 and a remainder of 923.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72969.65301
Subtracting 977 from 1900 leaves us with 923.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9230, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
977 goes into 9230 9 times with a remainder of 437.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72969.653019
If we take 8793 away from 9230, we end up with 437.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 977 fits into 4370 4 times, leaving a remainder of 462.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72969.6530194
If we subtract 3908 from 4370, we get 462.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
4620 divided by 977 is 4 with a remainder of 712.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72969.65301944
Deduct 3908 from 4620 and we're left with 712.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7120, and continue the process.

The final result is 72969.65301944 with a remainder of 7.12e-07.
