We divide 144968 by 7
We want to divide 144968 by 7.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 7, we get 0 with 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.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 7

Moving on to step 2:
The number 7 fits into 14 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 14 from 14, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 7

On to step 3:
If we divide 4 by 7, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 7

Step 4:
7 can be fit into 49 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 207.0
Subtract 49 from 49 to get 0.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 6 / 7

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 6 by 7, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2070.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 7

Step 6:
If we divide 68 by 7, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20709.0
Subtracting 63 from 68 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 20709.7
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 49 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 8:
7 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20709.71
If we take 7 away from 10, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 7 fits into 30 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20709.714
Deduct 28 from 30 and we're left 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 10:
20 divided by 7 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20709.7142
Subtracting 14 from 20 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 7 fits into 60 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20709.71428
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 56 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 20709.714285
Subtracting 35 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
7 can be fit into 50 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20709.7142857
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 49 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 10 by 7, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20709.71428571
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20709.71428571 with a balance of 3e-09.
