71998697 ÷ 917 
We want to figure out the number of times 71998697 can be divided by 917.

Step 1:
917 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 917

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 917, we get 0 and a remainder of 71.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 71, we end up with 71.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 719 / 917

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 719 by 917, we get 0 with a remainder of 719.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 719, we get 719.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 719, then repeat: 7199 / 917

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 917 fits into 7199 7 times, leaving a remainder of 780.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 6419 from 7199 and we're left with 780.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 780, then carry on: 7808 / 917

Advancing to step 5:
The number 917 fits into 7808 8 times, leaving a remainder of 472.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 78.0
The remainder is 472 after subtracting 7336 from 7808.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 472 and continue with: 4726 / 917

Let's proceed to step 6:
917 goes into 4726 5 times with a remainder of 141.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 785.0
If we subtract 4585 from 4726, we get 141.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 141, then repeat: 1419 / 917

On to step 7:
When dividing 1419 by 917, we get 1 with a remainder of 502.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7851.0
If we subtract 917 from 1419, we get 502.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 502 and continue: 5027 / 917

Step 8:
The number 917 fits into 5027 5 times, leaving a remainder of 442.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 78515.0
Deduct 4585 from 5027 and we're left with 442.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
917 can be fit into 4420 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 752.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78515.4
The remainder is 752 after subtracting 3668 from 4420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 917 fits into 7520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 184.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78515.48
If we subtract 7336 from 7520, we get 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1840 by 917, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78515.482
If we subtract 1834 from 1840, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 917, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78515.482
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 13:
917 goes into 600 0 times with a remainder of 600.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78515.482
Subtracting 0 from 600 leaves us with 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6000, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 78515.482 and a remainder of 0.0006.
