Let's divide 11761 by 7
We want to divide 11761 by 7.

On to step 1:
7 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 7

Step 2:
7 goes into 11 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 7 from 11 to get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 7

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 47 by 7, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 42 from 47, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 7

Step 4:
The number 7 fits into 56 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 168.0
Subtracting 56 from 56 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 7

Step 5:
1 divided by 7 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1680.0
Deduct 0 from 1 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.

Moving on to step 6:
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: 1680.1
If we subtract 7 from 10, we 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 7:
30 divided by 7 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1680.14
Subtracting 28 from 30 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
7 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1680.142
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 14 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
60 divided by 7 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1680.1428
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 1680.14285
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 35 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
50 divided by 7 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1680.142857
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.

Advancing to step 12:
10 divided by 7 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1680.1428571
If we subtract 7 from 10, we 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.

On to step 13:
7 goes into 30 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1680.14285714
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 28 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1680.14285714, and the remainder is 2e-09.
