We're dividing 978897 by 70 
We want to divide 978897 by 70.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 70, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 70

On to step 2:
70 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 70 from 97, we get 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 70

Advancing to step 3:
The number 70 fits into 278 3 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 210 away from 278, we end up with 68.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 688 / 70

Let's proceed to step 4:
688 divided by 70 is 9 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
If we take 630 away from 688, we end up with 58.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 589 / 70

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 70 fits into 589 8 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1398.0
If we take 560 away from 589, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 70

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 297 by 70, we get 4 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13984.0
Subtracting 280 from 297 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
70 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13984.2
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 140 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
70 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13984.24
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 280 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 70, we get 2 and a remainder of 60.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13984.242
Deduct 140 from 200 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
70 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13984.2428
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 560 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 70, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13984.24285
If we take 350 away from 400, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
70 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13984.242857
Deduct 490 from 500 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
70 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13984.2428571
Subtract 70 from 100 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
300 divided by 70 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13984.24285714
Deduct 280 from 300 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 13984.24285714 with a remainder of 2e-08.
